Well here’s the source of our fruit fly infestation, mom brought very ripe bananas out from somewhere in her room.

Who knows where she was keeping these, I’ve been through her room twice in the last few days looking for rotten fruit. Fruit flies popped up this weekend and got worse on our overnight trip to Utah.

So I’m trying the old homemade fruit and apple cider vinegar trap next to the fruit bowl. Cover with saran wrap and crater the center with a pencil tip, just enough for the suckers to find there way in but not back out.

I picked a few old raspberries that were still hanging on the vines. They seem to work well. I guess we will see in the morning.

When you have overripe brown bananas you make banana bread!

BANANA BREAD

• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 egg
• 1 1/8 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 Tbs milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 3 bananas mashed well
• 1/2 cup walnuts or chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325 degrees, mix dry ingredients then wet and combine. Cook 75 minutes till toothpick comes out clean.

I doubled the recipe to make one with nuts and one with chocolate chips for my picky boys. It was really good, and devoured quickly.
