• Thanks, Chris. I’m closer to Richmond and approx 1 hr 40 mins from Staunton. I’d like to get it from the source, but that would be nearly 3.5 hrs round-trip. Considering that it might be 10 sessions, it adds up. That’s why I was considering those lo…

  in no more bananas?! Comment by newbie
• well, you can’t have it all – cheap and available during scarcity. I’ve only seen plantains cooked too, but we could probably experiment. They might be good as a milk (with dates, cinnamon, and maybe nutmeg) or in smoothies with a few dates.

  in no more bananas?! Comment by newbie
• I hope that everyone understands that we won’t be without bananas – only the variety that Chiquita popularized. There was a thread on this about a week ago, but I can’t find it. We will still have other varieties, so don’t sweat it ;-)

  in Ants: how to make them stay outside? Comment by newbie
