My Ice Cream Bummer

I know what you're thinking...I'm not supposed to eat ice cream so how can I have a "bummer" about it? Well, I found a recipe for "One Ingredient Ice Cream" - the one ingredient being bananas. I was so excited!

I chopped up my ripe (but not mushy) bananas, put them in the freezer until they were set, ground them into tiny pebbles in my food processor, scraped said banana-pebbles into a bowl and then stirred until smooth. The result: something that looked amazingly like ice cream!

Alas, it was not very good. It was very creamy, which was impressive, but the after-taste was slightly bitter. Maybe I should have let the bananas ripen more, I don't know, but I'm no longer desperate enough to try it again...after all, I only have 12 more days to my due date! I can hang in for that long and then eat the real thing. I'll think about trying banana ice cream again in the summer. ;)

I have actually thought once about trying that, but never have. Will I now? Still undetermined. The time has really flown for me on your pregnancy and I'm sending you good luck and good health!!! Take Care!
