Retro Recipes: This Sh*t is Bananas; First Period [08/08].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer was definitely in a weird mood today, her brow pretty much permenantly knitted into a thoughtful furrow, as she was still trying to process a lot of thoughts and emotions about last night. If anything, she hoped this class could be a nice distraction, but, with how it had been going recently, she was just in no mood to deal with it.

"Today we're putting bananas in meatloaf," she told...warned?....them. "And if that's too much for anyone's delicate sensibilities," you're goddamn right she was looking right at you, Wayne, "well, then, I know you know how to find the door. This one's got to take some time to bake, though, so we're just going to get right into it."

"Meatloaf is actually pretty easy," Summer started. "That's kind of the point of meatloaf, it's just a squishy amalgamation of some form of meat and a binder to help it maintain that oh-so-tantalizing meat-log shape. For this recipe, the bananas are going to work as both binder and lovely garnish, so we've got lots of bananas on hand. We're going to want to take about two of them and mash 'em up real good. And then we're going to mash that mash in with our mashed meat, onions, salt, pepper, and bread crumbs. Once that's all mashed together in a beautiful mess, we're going to add mustard and mix that in, too. Now, this is where people can get a little crazy and mix in all sorts of condiments and vegetables and stuff: ketchup, barbecue, worcestershiree sauce...some people add carrots, mushrooms, brocolli, like their kids won't notice that shit in their meatloaf...but we're just keeping it simple to the original recipe and that means mustard, apparently.

"Anyway, once you feel your meatloaf is nicely mixed together, we're going to form it into a loaf-like shape into one of these pans, we're going to add two strips of bacon to the top for more flavor, and then pop her in the oven to bake. Which'll be a bit, I know you can't wait to try literally just bananas mixed with meat and mustard, but you're going to have to. Don't worry, though, I've got something else to help you pass the time."

Was this horrifying?

Yes, yes it was.

Was it also hilariously great?

Yes!

Nina was less certain about eating it, but making it was definitely happening with a giggly sort of glee.
