Just popped them in the freezer to have as a surprise dessert tonight, and thought of this post... prayed for your family as I made the bananas, and then as I proceeded to lick the bowl clean... :)familyofthreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01902603361079656465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19220163.post-83216555386683503822010-07-13T09:06:21.983-07:002010-07-13T09:06:21.983-07:00Glad you got some chocolate covered bananas! What a great story.<br /><br />Also, I enjoyed reading the Open Adoption Roundtable Discussion. As a newbie to this, I realize there is a lot for me to learn and think about.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blogjrshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09804891382407278946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19220163.post-68082508351196953882010-07-07T10:58:19.808-07:002010-07-07T10:58:19.808-07:00Love this post! It&#39;s sweet and evocative, and conveys much of how I feel about the &quot;bloggy community&quot; I&#39;ve grown attached to. Finding others who care about my &quot;minutia&quot; makes me feel more connected to the human experience.<br /><br />Now, at the risk of revealing my culinary ineptitude, would you share the recipe please, Tiger?Kristinhttp://www.parenthoodpath.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19220163.post-22563509154148479012010-07-05T16:48:22.826-07:002010-07-05T16:48:22.826-07:00You&#39;ve got a way of inducing all sorts of cravings any time I read your blog or your tweets.Both my parents are from southern CA so I grew up with Disneyland and frozen bananas. I&#39;ve tried the ones at Fred Meyer and Safeway, they&#39;re okay but homemade is always better.therapyisexpensivehttp://therapyisexpensive.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19220163.post-25612983104791577582010-07-05T12:39:55.212-07:002010-07-05T12:39:55.212-07:00Yes Heather, I bought them at the store where I work, Food Lion in NC. They&#39;re made by &quot;Diana&#39;s Bananas&quot;, they&#39;re called &quot;banana babies&quot;. Check them out at www.dianasbananas.com to see if they&#39;re sold in your neck of the woods!!Sonyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07418515339697027770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19220163.post-6964476784493422112010-07-05T11:53:13.613-07:002010-07-05T11:53:13.613-07:00The ones you can buy at TJs, at least, really stink--I&#39;d stick with making your own. I actually made them for Ruth and Nora at this last visit; they had never had them before. My husband had never had them before I fed him one. Such an amazing treat, and so underexposed!susiebookhttp://susiebook.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19220163.post-1110452558217498152010-07-05T11:53:10.612-07:002010-07-05T11:53:10.612-07:00I think sometimes that we get so caught up in the &quot;big&quot; things that we forget that the special moments are the everyday things. I have things that I do at home that remind me of the past and I cherish every moment. Thank you for sharing this little piece of life.

Quite a powerful story about being away from family for the first time- not minutiae at all. Not that there&#39;s anything wrong with minutiae... :)cynthiahttp://www.thenightkitchen.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19220163.post-46250743405573278232010-07-04T23:53:47.235-07:002010-07-04T23:53:47.235-07:00<i>@<b>Sonya</b> - You can buy them at the store?!?
