I have a tip on how to extend the storage life of bananas. Don’t be fooled by the idea that bananas shouldn’t go in the fridge. While they might turn brown on the outside under refrigeration, they’re still perfectly good to eat. Keep your bananas out on the counter until they begin to ripen and turn yellow. Once they’ve reached that stage, place them in the fridge in a paper bag to extend their shelf life. Although the skin may brown, the fruit inside remains firm and tasty if consumed within a week of refrigerating. Just be aware that if you refrigerate bananas before they ripen, they might not sweeten properly and stay in a pre-ripened state.
We have exactly what you need: a good mood moment with the following joke. It’s entitled “Second Opinion.”
Leo visits the doctor for a checkup.
“Leo, I am concerned because you are medically overweight.”
“OK. But Dr. Baker, I will need to seek a second opinion about that.”
“A second opinion? Well… you’re funny too!”
?!
