Bananagram Four-point-Five

Dear The Internet,

I'm very sorry I haven't written in a long time. I am still alive; what's more, I still love you and think about you every day. Life, my dear Internet, hasn't been so good to me of late, and I've neglected you because of it.

 I broke up with my girlfriend, Internet, which was very hard for me to do and meant I had to move. Then there was the week -- that dark time -- when I was without you entirely. But my modem came in the mail yesterday, and today I paid off my outstanding debts to you, and now you are mine again.

I haven't been very good at eating bananas, Internet, but then again, all the bananas I've come across lately look more like leprous offal than fruit (brown, splotchy, and soft to the touch). But I did eat a banana pudding a wile ago; I'm shocked to admit that, aside from the spectacularly slimy pieces of banana at the bottom, I enjoyed it quite a great deal.  I had a banana-peanut butter-chocolate smoothie of my own volition, too. It was quite good, though also so calorically dense that I ate little else til mid-afternoon. (This is rare for us five-meals-per-day types, you know.)

I promise to write more soon, Internet. Take care!

Love,

Ross

Fine writing as always sir.

It completely blows my mind that you don't like bananas. Weirdest food not to like, ever.

One of my favorite ways to eat bananas is sliced on PB&J sandwiches (toasted, preferably), or the best way in the world - frozen and chocolate covered, on a stick.

I would highly recommend banana-oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies.

Oh, forgot to add - when baking with bananas, they are actually BEST when the outside is all brown and spotty, and the inside is softer than you'd want to eat straight. Old memory from baking with my mom as a kid.

We forgive you, my child, and celebrate your union with us once more. We eagerly anticipate your return to writing, as quality bananagramming is in short supply.

'Tis now September for us
Yellow gold ripening still
The clouds are looming
No Ross is booming
How can I not make a fuss?

I doubt this is the proper forum, but I'm looking for an old friend from a chorus tour many years ago who, from your description of yourself and your love for food, seems to match what I remember of him.

Are you Ross, the bass originally from New Mexico whose favorite phrase that summer of 2001 was "BEEFY"? :-) If so, please write me!
