Been using banana peels as a vegetable, shredding them into strips with a fork then simmering in broth. Kinda like a crunchy string bean texture after 20 minutes of cooking, no detectable banana flavor (for me at least). I'm on the lookout for more recipes if anyone else uses them.

As for hobbies, desperately waiting for spring to start gardening again. I miss all the cool bugs and being chased inside by carpenter bees 🐝 lol!

Those banana peels you posted look really cool! I've never thought to cook with them before.

Gardening's really fun. I miss having a garden and can't wait to have a front or backyard when I move. For some reason I get lots of cool insects come inside over the year. I keep getting praying mantises flying inside this time of year, with the last time one stealthy laying eggs by the windowsill. Later I had dozens of "ants" on the windows until I noticed they were actually baby mantises!

Thanks 🤗 And that is awesome! I rarely see mantises where I am, but it's such a treat. I love the way they eye people up lol.

It's that time of winter where I'm like, "It'll never be green again!". But I also need to buy seeds soon to start...

It started bouncing between 60F and 20F here, weather whiplash! But some shrubs are starting to bud which is such a mood booster. I'm hoping to get brambles or hopniss plants this spring.

Once my Forsythia bloom it's over for this seasonal depression.
