very strange color crayon and scribbled:

There certainly must be interesting challenges with random donations,
particularly very perishable ones.

It just occurred to me, that one could get a dehydrator and salvage
the food in that way for later use. In this instance, banana chips
make great snacks.

On a more current note, a local 99 cent store has been selling bananas
so green that they are inedible by hand for two weeks. I found that I
can cook a green banana (in its skin) in the microwave and end up with
something that tastes much like a baked potato. Cut off the ends
before baking to prevent mini-explosions. For my oven, about 2 minutes
at slightly reduced power was plenty. Ripe bananas taste good too,
they'll just be very sweet and lack the potato-ish texture.
