This Sh*t is Bananas; Tuesday, Third Period [05/21].
Oh, the plight of the modern, thriving woman, where one must be forced to choose between correcting a very terrible hair color mistake and making horrible vintage banana recipes for dramatic effect in class! Clearly, consummate professional that she was, Summer had elected to work on her recipes for class today rather than dying her hair, which she wouldn't have had enough time for anyway, but as soon as she was finished here, it was time to grab that bleach, baby! For now, though, she was really hoping everyone would be kind enough not to say anything about her brown hair and also that the bandage covering her incredibly itchy, good god, fresh ink between her shoulder blades would go unnoticed as well.
Doubtful, with at least one student in the class, but, hey, maybe the bananas would be horrible enough of a distraction?
"Welcome back, everyone," Summer said with a smile and a tilt of her head and another urge to scratch her back that was going to manifest in a twitch in that smile. "As you'd expect, today, we're going to go over two more horrible banana recipes. Well, the second one isn't too horrible, but we'll get into that in a second.
"Our first one brings us a classic combination. I know when you think banana, you think fish. And while this," Summer pulled the cloche from the first platter to reveal the dish in question, "isn't nearly as egregious as the sardine banana boats we've done in a previous class, there's just something about a salad that combines salmon and bananas together that makes you wonder...why? Were they actually onto something? Or were they maybe just on drugs? We'll be making it today and finding out!
"Additionally, naturally, the dressing on this salad calls for mayo and mustard, and I'll agree that the mayo makes sense with the salmon, but it's an interesting choice with the banana and pineapple. And, as mid-century as it feels, it does feel a little bland and unexpected. So today I'd like to throw in a challenge, too. What other dressings could you think of to toss into this salad? Either to genuinely improve it or to somehow make it even worse; we like to go both ways in this class."
Yes, she had to say it all like that, shh.
"And, secondly, we have Banana Pineapple Salad, which, as far as recipes go, isn't all that bad. It's honestly really simple and the flavors make sense. So what we're talking about today," and now she pulled back the cloche to reveal the banana-pierced pineapple rings on a bed of greens and berries, "is the presentation. Just like banana candles from last week, putting the banana through the pineapple rings feels very much like a choice, the exact kind of choice that we're looking to explore in this classroom.
"So, you should have everything you need to recreate these recipes; let's get started, and let's get talking."
