be creative...

 Once again thank you to my west coast brother, today is "National Banana Split Day."  Now I realize that you're getting this information late in the day and you may not want to run out and buy a banana split right now, even though this is a great day to celebrate, and a banana split would taste delicious.  But don't despair, just get creative.  A banana split is not that hard to build as a do-it-yourself project.  Of course it will help if you have some ice cream on hand (better yet, in your freezer).  Then you will need syrup. Chocolate, caramel, strawberry, blueberry, honey - any or many of these will do.  I would not recommend molasses.  Next some chopped nuts.  You probably have a half package of those tucked in your freezer somewhere near the ice cream. Remember, you used the other half on your sweet potato casserole at Christmas time.  Chocolate chips are also a nice touch, maybe shredded coconut?  Now all you need is a banana, or if you're my spouse, you'll stop right here, and just enjoy a no-banana split.  If you do have a banana, add it now.  You don't really need to split it, especially if you don't happen to have a long banana split shaped dish.  Go ahead and slice it up.  No one will ever know.  Of course now it has become a 'banana slice.' Enjoy!
