Use up those bananas!

Hello Crazies! I hope you checked out the Saucy Irish's soup yesterday!  So I was laying in bed last night drilling my hubs on what recipe to use today and this popped into my head and I yelled it out randomly and he just went right in watching tv. Guess after 17 years together he's given up!

I was also informed that since I used the hubs recipe for lasagna the other day and didn't give you proper OCD step by step directions that I have to fix it!  So at some point tomorrow I will attempt to do that-if I haven't admitted him to a real Asylum before then!  He said that there are now people out in the world doing it all wrong! Excuse me while I find him a jacket...
