How to Eat a Banana

I am almost back to 100%! Warning that this post is just random and I don't have much to write about other than little things. =(  It's okay! I'm on the road to recovery and will be out there doing more exciting things soon!

My sister and I got a new mattress today so now our backs can sleep properly and not be broken. Yay! I was able to help move stuff around, so it's all good. Ran a few errands...

I went grocery shopping with my dad at a local Chinese grocery store, and here are some of the highlights:

1. I heard this couple (asian + non asian) arguing over some eel flavoured chips. Their conversation went like this;

"What is that?" (Man)

"Eel flavoured chips!" (Woman)

"EEWW. That's disgusting! Put that down!" + other really mean things that can come off as quite offensive to people who are asian and eat/like these kinds of snacks.  (Man)

"No, I like it. I'm going to buy it anyway."  (Woman)

Anyway, I was a bit taken back at his disgust towards eel flavoured chips, but I haven't tried them myself, so I can't say right?! So I bought a pack and I'm going to try them when I can eat crunchy things.  THEN we will see if it's gross or not. =P 

2. There was this Jamaican guy who was wandering the aisles of dry foods, snacks, spices, and teas. He saw me and asked, 

"Excuse me, do you know what vanilla extract is?"

"Yes, it's for baking right?"

"Yes! Oh, could you please ask someone where I can find it?"

"Oh... I'm sorry... uhh... I don't know what that is...in Chinese...heh" 

Oops. I was just wandering the aisles myself, trying to see what neat things I can find to eat or cook with. I just like doing that. Anyway, he realized I was born here and didn't really speak Chinese that well.. haha... I'm glad he understood. But I did end up finding it for him, since I had nothing to do really.. and he kept asking me why I was there.. what I was looking for.. etc. All I could say was that I was just browsing and looking around. I guess he thought I was weird and wondered what I was doing. haha. Anyway, just something cool that happened.

3. On the way home, my dad told me to eat a banana. He said, 

"You know how to eat a banana right? Just peel it back and then you can scoop out the inside with a spoon and feed yourself."

That's great. Thanks for that.
