An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I haven't had frozen banana since the chocolate covered ones when I was a kid. I remember them being very hard. Maybe these weren't in the freezer long enough to get that hard. Tasted like banana ice cream, but it was just banana.
Bonus sunset pic from this evening's walk:
It fixes their texture. Gorgeous pic!
The technical reason is that it lyses the cells. The freezing process causes the water in the cells to expand, often beyond the boundary of their cell membrane/ cell wall. The breaks/ punctures the membrane/ wall. These releases more sugars, that otherwise would require either chewing or digestion to expose.
I usually freeze between 20-60 lbs of banana a month, at least during summer/ fall when banana's are a plenty.
Huh, today I learned!
That is a LOT of bananas.
I mean where do you think the stand gets its bananas?

At the banana fest!
This weeks bananas:
NEXT weeks bananas:
Every week?
Holy banana lore
I mean, I certainly picture a tropical dingdong eating a lot of bananas
Op asks a question then absolutely roasts you for knowing the answer. A sight to behold
I took it as the picture was OP taking notes excitedly.
Banana ice cream is just blended frozen bananas at the most basic. Sure you can add some (non)dairy milk and sugar, but it's still mostly just banana. And it's delicious!
It's because there's always money in the banana stand. Just remember that.
How much was in the banana stand. Did anyone do the math?
George sr says there was $250000 in there after george michael burns it down. Also apparently this already happened in episode 2? Could have sworn the money in the banana stand gag went on longer.
Cold nanner flavor particles get sleepy when cold and don't run away as fast
Thank you. I knew someone would know. This is very interesting.
‘Do you want a frozen banana?’
‘No but I want a regular one later so yeah.’
This guy probably writes with a highlighter.
Have previously mixed in some protein powder in a blender to make something very ice cream like without all the sugar and fat.
Dole whip
Why are you putting so much emphasis on the “h”?
When I don't get through bananas and they get over-ripe, I freeze them (peeled). They're perfect for banana pancakes, baking, smoothies, dessert, etc.
I literally just did that with a big bunch of bananas. Like, 45 seconds before I sat down and opened Lemmy. What an interesting coincidence.
They make for great banana bread; the riper the better
They’re so annoying to peel if they’re frozen in the peel. I much prefer to peel them first before freezing
Try putting them in a blender with some almond milk and a scoop of peanut butter.
I don’t like bananas to begin with and this sounds like you’ve just made them worse.
You caught me.
Like, I hate the smooth creaminess of bananas and you’ve made them even smoother and creamier.
Next time don’t put them in a blender with some vanilla creamer and chocolate syrup and whipped cream and maybe cinnamon and nutmeg on top.
My wife brought home little frozen chocolate covered banana bites one day. They didn't deserve to be as delicious as they were!
I use frozen bananas to make one of the tastiest shakes I've ever had. I can't recommend it enough:
Huh, never tried because i would have expected them to be just cold rocks until thawed. Will investigate.
Try grapes next, it'll blow your mind. Let them thaw a little and they're slushy because of the high sugar content.
How do you keep the slices from freezing to a solid block?
Even if you don't cut them up, they are still soft. Much like ice cream. You can actually throw them unpeeled in the freezer and you can cut the peel off easily due to this. They don't turn into ice cubes.
I freeze my nanas all the time, especially once they become too ripe.
I make oatmeal w coconut shred and walnuts every morning. Once it’s done cooking I throw in 1/3 frozen banana and a bit of granola for added flavors/texture. One dollop of yogurt and yum!!
Every day.
