. . . feelings of guilt . . .

. . . sometimes, after weeks 
of throwing them away, 
i feel guilty . . . 
 . . . because maybe overripe bananas 
have feelings, too . . . 
. . . and there are starving children . . . 
{in camden, according to a dateline segment years ago 
that my children still quote}
. . . so i buy pecan pieces 
at $10.32 per pound . . . 
. . . and bake bread 
so i don't have to waste 
80¢ worth of bananas . . . 


. . . and then i feel so much better . . . 
. . . except for the guilt 
that comes from eating it . . . 

. . . this recipe is really awesome . . .
. . . it's all about the topping . . .
. . . and the cream cheese 
in the batter . . .
