And Bananas

It turns out that not only have I been pouring coffee the wrong way all this time, I've been peeling bananas wrong, too! Monkeys -- who should be the experts in this -- peel bananas from the end opposite the stem, not from the stem end, and supposedly this way is easier. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, though.

Keep us posted on that one.

lol @ caryn!

but, seriously, how could that possibly be easier? it's not simple societal convention that we use the stem end -- it's easier to get a good rip on the thing, innit?

please, we expect a followup.

I ate a banana yesterday and thought of you. I didn't try to eat it the wrong way though. I'll leave that to you.

Hehe, I'm going to try the wrong way today!

i've found that russians eat bananas this way.
it was explained to me that the stem makes a better handle than peely thing.
also, when you peel from the non-stem end you don't have to wrestle with a split stem.
i don't remember if this helps with pulling off the fibers that run the length of the banana *shrug*
probably worth another go at it.
