They'd been there for a week or two, since the bf's rents went on a weekend vacation and gave them to us so they wouldn't go bad. We already had bananas, so for whatever reason my boyfriend put them in the freezer. When I saw them, I remembered that my aunt always saves her brown bananas to make banana bread!

Just letting everyone know, I've decided to change the name of this blog from The Vanilla Bean to Vanilla in Beantown. I just thought it was a little bit more original and accurate, since I'm Vanilla and I'm in Beantown (Boston). That's it for today, but don't worry, more blogs coming soon!Vanillahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06929237017766212909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659595502964137219.post-32564478719045265842010-06-21T13:41:00.003-04:002010-06-21T13:56:07.262-04:00It's Been Almost a Year....Hey everyone!I have seriously let this blog down in the past year and that upsets me. So in the coming months I'm going to be working harder on it. There are a few entries that are backlogged and need to be posted, as well as a few I'd love to write.

I really love http://lunchinabox.net/ for ideas and tips. I learned that you can premake rice balls and freeze them, so I've been making batches of star (squeeze the rice into a star cookie cutter!) shaped rice "balls" and freezing all of those in a plastic bag (sans the individual wrapping as Biggie suggests- I get along just fine without it and not doing that Vanillahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06929237017766212909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659595502964137219.post-81605364197126080112009-06-17T23:24:00.003-04:002009-07-16T13:01:03.640-04:00Care Profile: Guinea PigsBoy oh boy, did I ever have a disaster the other morning. I was unclogging the filter on one of my fish tanks, and instead of cleaning it out after, I stupidly just put it right back in the tank and turned it on. Seconds later, the water in my tank was a murky brown.

I come to you from the land of failed debuts. Seriously. I posted one entry months ago and now there’s nothing. No readership or anything. Sucks for an aspiring blogger, right? Well, I’m here now and I’m jumping on the ball. I’m going to be writing a series on summer foods. The first entry, [Grilling 101]. That’s right folks, today we’re going to learn some grilling basics.
