Peel a banana from the bottom and you won’t have to pick the little “stringy things” off of it. That’s how the primates do it.
Overly ripened bananas - don’t throw them out - throw them in the freezer! When they freeze they go blackish, but you can cut off the peels and pop them into smoothies later on - yummy.

Leftover Snickers bars from Halloween make a delicious dessert. Simply chop them up with the food chopper. Peel, core and slice a few apples. Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle the chopped candy bars over the apples. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes!!! Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream. Yum! (Leftover candy? You must be kidding?)
Chopped up Mars bars and cream (50/50 mix) microwave in 10 second bursts until melted - dip in your strawberries.
