Where are the bananas?

A few days ago our local supermarket ran out of bananas. I thought it was weird but went back the next day to get some bananas. Still no bananas. Then I read Mari's blog post about the latest craze in Japan - the morning banana diet. You can read the rules of the banana diet in Mari's blog post. The people at our supermarket confirmed that is why they are selling out of bananas everyday!! How nutty is that! So where can I get me some bananas??!!!

I'm working on J's 11-month post, but we just found the USB cord for the camera so hopefully it'll be up in the next few days. I can't believe it is October and that J turns one in less than three weeks. Nutty. It was also my mum's birthday yesterday - happy birthday mum!!! All the beautiful and talented people are born in October!!! Love you.

I've had people here laugh at my banana-a-day habit, and now those same people are buying up all the bananas! It's driving me crazy but I've noticed one upside--I've always hated that bananas are sold when they're fully ripe (which means they are often bruised by the time I get them home). But now the markets seem to be selling their bananas as soon as they get them, rather than waiting until they turn yellow. So on those rare occasions when bananas are in stock, they are often green. Yay!

PS, thanks for the link to Mari's blog. Further down the post was something about boiling a can of sweetened condensed milk to make dulce de leche--can't wait to try it!
