Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

People freeze bananas?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Alibelle, my great-grandmother used to call that "being all eat up with the I-don't-cares."

Oh, I love that! It's perfectly descriptive and accurate. Did she tell you how to fix it?

I freeze bananas when they're going black but I'm not ready to make anything with them.

Well, it may not be much help in your situation, but she would go for some alone time in her rocking chair on the porch, looking over her garden, and that usually led to a short nap.

On the other hand, when my grandfather felt that way he would go out for a drive -- around town, or out in the country, wherever whim and random chance took him.

I'm pretty pleased about Biden (my text came at 2:47, FTR). I do think he shores up Obama on not just foreign pol but with the "white working class" voter that Clinton claimed.

Plus, he's been in Congress for as long as I've been alive, so that takes care of the "Obama doesn't have enough experience" issue. And, in fact, it also creeps into the Old White Guy demographic.

Ditto. When I get enough (and some motivation) I make banana bread. Also, I really don't like mushy bananas (make me start gagging.) I like 'em when they are just shy of green, so if I don't manage to eat my 5 bananas/week, they quickly end up frozen.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

DH and I were joking that McCain would have to find a young black Republican for his VP to even things out.
