New Take on a Classic

I want to offer a heat-felt thank you for your support regarding my wife's surgery.  There were a few tense hours beforehand (because...surgery...and also because the ice/snow was bad enough that morning to close everything except the OR) and a few tense hours afterwards (her oxygen level plummeted every time she relaxed).  But she's doing really well now and wanting to do things for me instead of letting me take care of her.  I'm winning the battle so far, but that won't last long.


As part of my thank you, I want to share something I created this week.  Someone else may have done it already, but I came up with it on my own--so it's mine!!!  :)


Have you ever tried a peanut butter and banana sandwich?  I've seen versions where the banana is sliced onto the peanut butter and one where the banana is mashed up/mixed into the peanut butter.  Mine is different--but the picture won't upload, so I'll have to describe it.


Start with a hotdog bun (this one was a potato bread bun), put a banana into it (just like a hotdog), and add peanut butter on top (like relish, mustard or ketchup).


The banana dog!!!  It was delicious!  I'll post the picture on Instagram


PS - I'm sure it's been done--everything has been done.  But this time, don't tell me!!!  :D

    1. I just bought more. I buy them often, but rarely get to eat one. I like them when the first brown speckle appears. My wife likes them while their still green-ish--REALLY likes them, so I don't get many. :)

  5. I'm glad to hear your wife (and you!) are doing well post surgery. The oxygen level issue must have made for a few very scary hours though.

    As for your peanut butter invention, it looks very much like something my brother would come up with. :-)

    1. Thanks Kristie! Once she fully recovers I expect I'll come down with something...for some reason that often comes along with the relief when things are getting back to normal.

  7. I don't know what surgery your wife underwent though I'm glad that she is doing well now and you too.

    I will tell you that somebody has done this banana dog before-- Somebody on Instagram did it. I even liked his picture. He goes by the name of rickricademus. SO mean of him to copy you.

    1. She tried to have rickectomy, but it didn't work. (It was actually to remove some female plumbing)

      That rickricademus is my nemesis...easily my worst enemy! :)
