I spent a considerable amount of time today (five minutes) considering where I should post this event: facebook or blog, facebook or blog, facebook or blog, facebook or blog. Facebook would be so much faster and I wouldn’t have to notify anybody of it’s posted state, but blog would give it longevity, blog would give it a spotlight, blog would give it a URL. (Yup, all that in just 5 minutes!)
So, I logged on to wordpress for the first time in months to share this life-changing experience with you.
This morning I had a hankerin’ for Rice Krispies with banana slices for breakfast. Not sure why. It’s just a feeling I get a couple times a year. Luckily I had some leftover from the last Rice Krispie Treat splurge oh, from, like, Christmas. I figured they were stale and my craving would tragically go unsatisfied.
I plunged my fist in the bag for a handful anyway, and found, much to my surprise, No! They were only a little stale. Sweet! I’m in!
I poured a full bowl of the cereal. Then chose the perfect banana – it has to be all yellow with almost no black spots for this dish. Luckily I had one, which is where the hankering started in the first place.
Moving on (it would be a miracle if I just got to the point, wouldn’t it?), I began slicing the banana over the dry, only partially stale, Rice Krispies. After a few slices, I glanced down at the bowl to check my progress and almost fell over. What did I see?
“Oh my God! It’s a banana Stonehenge!” I exclaimed out loud and ran for the camera (because it might disappear if I didn’t catch it quick).
So I took these pics and at least a half dozen more and I just can’t stop marveling at the whole thing. I’m pretty sure this ranks up there with Jesus appearing on the toast.
Last Banana Standing
This must be a sign!
And I think I know what it means.
You are too funny! That was quite the banana epiphany. Hope the whole thing wasn’t too soggy when you finally got around to eating it!
Cheers.
This is hilarious and supernatural! Maybe the banana was standing up getting ready to orchestrate the snap, crackle, and pop song.
You should send the photos to Kellogs right away. You didn’t eat it did you? Linda’s cousin can encase the “miracle” in plastic to preserve it forever. You know like the shroud and the ark. Please tell me you didn’t ear the miracle!
Of course it happened to you. All the best and most and exciting things happen to the best and most exciting people! Tell me you didn’t eat it, Oprah is waiting.
why didn’t I get a reminder that a blog was posted??
Hilary, Hilary, Hilary! I am soooooooo glad to find that you posted again… even if I am only reading it now 4 months after you posted! Please keep writing this blog, I love it and miss your great writing, your great photos and you.
