This Sh*t is Bananas; Tuesday, Third Period [06/11].
"Today's featured recipe," Summer, who had brought a very large bottle of presumably water with her to class today, was so pleased to announce her lesson for today that she totally skipped right over the preamble to get right to it, "is not actually all that weird or disgusting,. I know, I know, who even am I anymore? But sometimes, I just come across something simply too good to not share with you guys, even if it goes outside the criteria of my whole disgusting oeuvre, so, yes, even though we're in the middle of June, we're getting a little Halloween-y as I present you..."
She dramatically removed the cloche.
"The banana spook cake! Ooo~ooooh! Isn't it spoooooky? And kind of ridiculous, right? This actually comes to us from the National Banana Association, because, look, they were pushing bananas hard in the mid-20th century, I'm sure that's something we can delve into and talk about if anyone really wants to, but this was yet another 'creative,'" she of course did the finger quotes, "way of making your bananas more fun and frightening! Plus it actually sounds kind of delicious? And I know you weirdos are going to have fun decorating your own bananas for ghosts. So we're doing it. We're making the banana spook cake.
"However," Summer gave a significant pause and a look toward the fact that there were two cloches, actually, "I can't let you guys think I'm getting soft, so we're also going to be making..."
Off went the cloche.
"tomato-banana tarts. Literally just bananas on tomatoes, probably with, like, mayo to hold them in place. Because why not? Two recipes, both scary in their own right, both for different reasons. Let's begin."

Listen to the Lecture - Bananas, 06/11.
Well, except the banana tart. But that's how you know she's sincere, right?
