Love it! I wouldn't mind a bit of that word salad, yummy!

And your directions are perfect - and no one actually has to dress like a banana to participate. Oh, and there's always a chance for a ride on the plane! Ya never know!

Kat Palmiotti I was headed in a different direction for that word salad and then I thought.....let's keep it upbeat and fun!  Nothing better! Banana suits are optional. But trust me, so many people wanted to try on a suit and get their pictures taken with all of us for years! Totally fun and it was great networking!  The stories I could tell!!

Hi Anna,
I'm glad your "word salad" didn't channel someone else we know. Yours actually made sense... with Tude!

Hey Carol Williams that is what came to mind at first but OH NO....not going down that crazy path!  Tudes are good at shifting things around to the positive side!  You're living proof of that all the time!  Thanks for all you bring to the Tude party!

Hello Anna - I am a longtime BananaTude member, but I haven't participated in the BT Recipe Weekend since my kitchen skills are next to nothing in the pantry of expertise or examination. Of course, I remain hopeful that my pondering putanesca serves the group mission statement.

Michael Jacobs you are ALWAYS welcome in the BT group!  Always!  It's been great having you as a member all these years!

I'll check that out next Nina Hollander, Broker .  I told her yesterday I'd be sending her more recipes.  Now I need to get it done!  As for the fun part.....I come by that honestly from my Mom!  She was so darn funny and fun!

Good morning Anna. If we get many more to join our group you'll need a bigger jet! And, that would not be so bad. Going to have a banana for breakfast, ha, ha. Enjoy your day.
