Freezing bananas

If you have bananas that are getting close to going bad but you don't want to use them right away, you can freeze them - but peel them and maybe even slice them before putting them in a bag/container and into the freezer.

Don't just toss them in and freeze them in the peels or you'll have the worst time getting frostbitten fingers trying to peel the frozen bananas later on.

Button Soup - preamble

Stone Soup is an old folk story in which a hungry stranger tricks a reluctant town into giving ingredients one-by-one to add to a soup started with only water and a stone.

In varying traditions, the stone has been replaced with other common inedible objects, and therefore the fable is also known as *button soup*, wood soup, nail soup, and axe soup.
