Banana Rama Extravaganza

Many people underestimate the power of the banana.  Not only is it packed with potassium, but it can be the inspiration for an entire three course meal.  On Sunday, my roommates and I did just that.  We had a number of appetizers (egg rolls with banana ketchup, tostones (twice-fried plantains), and banana chips).  Then came the main dish course (nilaga (filipino pork soup with plantains and vegetables) and/or banana pancakes with banana syrup, a side of banana bread with strawberry banana smoothies to drink.  Dessert was delicious banana chocolate chip bars and banana split bars.  YUM!  All in all, we were impressed with the versatility of our favorite yellow fruit.
