PNC Bank Online Banking and Bill Pay can save you time and money!

Yeah. It would save me time if they didn't send me emails containing lies! Lies and propaganda!!!

I hate banks.

Love email.

Food of the Week!!

The food of the week this week is the least fruity of all fruits. It's the mighty green Avocado!

I get at least 2 avocados every time I go grocery shopping, and I never let one go bad. While they don't necessarily taste that great on their own, they are versatile and mesh well with other flavors. Here's what i mean by versatile; I made some chili but I had forgotten to buy cheese to put on top. So I said, Hey an avocado is fatty, soft, and yellow, why not throw that on there? And I did. And it was delicious. I'll take avocado on my chili instead of cheese any time.

Put it on a sandwich. Put it on a burger. Make soup with it. Cut it in half and eat it with a spoon.

Too bad someone already wrote the book I was going to write: The Improvisational Cook
I was going to call it Freecooking though.

Ok, so go get some avocados. You can thank me later.

Love,

Ok Ok, I know what you're thinking... actually, no, I don't know what you're thinking. But if you knew what I was thinking, you'd already know that the food of the week is....

Banana!

The banana is the quintessential commuter's fruit. Not only is that fun to say, but it's true. The banana has been a mainstay in the knapsacks of working class and professional lunch-packers alike for, you know, a long time. Whether it be by bus, bicycle, on foot, in a car, or on various types of trains, the banana withstands the rigors of your daily commute. Go ahead, see for yourself.

Bananas are animals that travel in packs. As a banana grows it sheds its smaller peel and moves into a bigger one. A banana may do this as many as 7 times in its lifespan.

I always get the same question about bananas: 'If I don't eat my younger banana within a few days, is there any chance it will shed its peel and venture out across my counter looking for a new peel to inhabit?'

My answer is always the same: Yes.

But only if you have a bigger spare peel laying around.
Most likely they'll just turn brown.
