The chef is here. Good eats for everyone.
From Wikipedia: Banana plants are of the family Musaceae. They are cultivated primarily for their fruit, and to a lesser extent for the production of fiber and as ornamental plants. Because of their size and structure, banana plants are often mistaken for trees. The main or upright growth is called a pseudostem, which for some species can obtain a height of up to 2–8 m, with leaves of up to 3.5 m in length. Each pseudostem produces a single bunch of bananas, before dying and being replaced by a new pseudostem.
The banana fruit grow in hanging clusters, with up to 20 fruit to a tier (called a hand), and 3-20 tiers to a bunch. The total of the hanging clusters is known as a bunch, or commercially as a "banana stem", and can weigh from 30–50 kg. The fruit averages 125 g, of which approximately 75% is water and 25% dry matter content. Each individual fruit (known as a banana or 'finger') has a protective outer layer (a peel or skin) with a fleshy edible inner portion. Typically the fruit has numerous strings (called 'phloem bundles') which run between the skin and the edible portion of the banana, and which are commonly removed individually after the skin is removed. Bananas are a valuable source of Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, and potassium.
Bananas are grown in 132 countries worldwide, more than any other fruit crop. In popular culture and commerce, "banana" usually refers to soft, sweet "dessert" bananas that are usually eaten raw. The bananas from a group of cultivars with firmer, starchier fruit are generally used in cooking rather than eaten raw. Bananas may also be dried and ground into banana flour.

Hey!
Are you some secret henchman hired by Bubbles?
Hi CC, thank you. Hi everyone! Sir . . ew. I liked them about as much as I like HR Puffenstuff. Some ideas were better left on the drawing board.
Who is the other “older” dude?
Is that Tom Marr?
That witch scared me too.
Rush has done more to advance conservatism and get the message to the masses than anyone else in history.
You know it, and I know it....and the treasonous dems know it.
He is the juggernaut. End of story.

My Cubbies are right behind. 3 and out I predict.
Re: Harkin -
Glenn Reynolds had the details back in 2004. As he put it then, “Harkin seems a rather odd choice for the Democrats as an attack dog.” He seems ever more odd now, but I guess Moveon.org has to take whatever it could get.

Does anyone have a link to his show? Sean was moved back after Dr. Laura here in Sacramento. Now I have a void in my life.
