Banana-drama
When Cyclone Larry hit Innisfail in tropical north Queensland last month and destroyed most of Australia's banana crop (in a region that produces 95% of the national total), we knew bananas were gonna be expensive. But I never thought I'd see the day, as I did on Saturday, when bananas were more expensive than those lovely reddy-green corella pears ($7.99/kg vs $5.99/kg, respectively). That is REALLY expensive for bananas. I normally only buy corella pears when I feel like spoiling myself as they're usually a lot more expensive than other varieties of pear. But no need to feel guilty this time....as Tiff & I decided today...now would not be the time to whip up a banana cake! N
