To stop bananas going black so quickly put a Bluapple in the fruit bowl. You can buy them on Amazon along with refills. They absorb the ethylene gas which fruit gives off and stops it from ripening too quickly. They work great in the salad crisper in the fridge too. I got a set a couple of months ago and it's amazing how much longer they make your produce last.

It's really easy to remember when to refill them too. Just go on their website, put in your email address and they will email you when it's time.

ROFL  Yes,  yes I know we only emailed you yesterday...   but you really do need to buy yet another box of refills...

Don't knock it Karyn!  Bapu's got a similar service telling him when he needs to buy a new plug-in.

We're the best ... you know it!
 
The Continental food vendor we had at the King's Table, had a separate refrigerator for all the bananas, and they had special filters and air going into that room, and the bananas stayed green fairly well, so I was aware of this process.
 
The problem is, how many will you display and SELL, so you don't go broke throwing bananas at you like some characters in World of Warcraft!

Hi,
 
I think I found one here in Vancouver, on 164th area by Mill Plain.
 
Not much different than the other store from around here that is all this and that and cool and hip and such ... called Chuck's.
 
Because I can't see the details well enough, and learn better what the big deal is, and why there are 174 different soups or what not, some of these stores are a drag for me ... you want water, and you see an isle that is longer than the threads at the Coffee House! And for me, that is tough. It's obvious it's there for a reason, but 17 different waters, other than flavors is like ... hmmm ... who takes that? Insomniac? Someone that has this or that?
 
The prepared small salads at TJ's are ... my lunches or dinners two or three times a week!
 
Their no fat English Muffins are my other bad habit ... but I seem to do really well with those not bloating me up!

I thought I'd try one of the salads from Whole Foods for lunch at work.  Wouldn't you know it, I woke up around 3am with a mild fever.  No work work today.  I'll still have the salad, though.

Don't feel bad Pedro, that one only opened about 1.5 years ago.

A couple of months ago the girlfriend and I decided to buy some expensive "raw cashew milk" from Whole Foods. It said on the back that it wasn't suitable for pregnant women or anyone with an impaired immune system. Well neither of us are pregnant and we're both quite healthy, so we thought we'd give it a go. 
 
Thus followed 3 or 4 days of horrible sickness. It wasn't even very tasty.
