Thu 8 June 2006 - My precious
I had to have a fix. It had been weeks. I have found a source, a legal source, but it’s expensive.
Amid stories of black market bananas, I can reveal that I had three bananas in my house this week. Don’t bother trying to break-in now to steal them; they’ve been eaten.
These were decently-sized bananas (not the tiny weedy ones you see in some of the few shops that have them), but they ain’t cheap. At $12.99 per kilo, the three I had set me back $9.
But sometimes you’ve just got to treat the family.
