Yum. You could make caramelized bananas and vanilla ice cream, or banana pancakes, or banana cream pie. Or, you could consult this online guide to bananas! http://www.banana.com/
When I was a kid, we used to mash bananas up in their peel, cut it open length-wise on one side, cram in mini marshmallows and chocolate chips, close the peel back around it, put it in foil and bake it. So healthy, right?
Banana Bread Sticks-- 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup vegetable oil 2 eggs 1 cup banana, mashed 1 3/4 cup flour (white, whole wheat or a combo) 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Combine ingredients and stir only until smooth. Pour into a greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 for about 1 hour, or until firmly set. Cool, remove from pan, and cut into sticks. Spread sticks out on a baking sheet and bake at 150 for 1 hour (or longer) until the sticks are hard and crunchy. Store in tightly covered container.
I got this recipe from a book called "Feed Me, I'm Yours" (a book about homemade baby food and finger foods).
Okay, couldn't resist, because this sounds SOOOO like you!
I don't even know if you can get cherries or not, but if so... (And this is one for Hannah)
Banana and Cherry (Puree) 6 sweet cherries, halved and pitted 1 tablespoon water 1 banana 1 tablespoon baby rice cereal
Put the cherries into a small pan together with the water and simmer for 2 minutes. Mash the banana, add to the cooked cherries, and simmer for just under a minute. Puree using a handheld blender and sitr in the baby rice.
And here is a fun food fact: "Cherries stimulate the immune system and help to prevent infection. They are also good for a child suffering from constipation."
I got this recipe in a book called "Top 100 Baby Purees". Hee hee!
Oh the possibilities! Banana bread, banana smoothies, mashed bananas for Hannah...any other ideas?

I didn't know Japan was banana void. We have plenty here!
Yes, Maria. Hawaii is perfect.
;)
It's not banana void, but usually it's about 250 for 4 bananas. Imagine (if you paradise dwellers can) my delight at finding 20 for 500 yen!

Tenessa, you are on top of this preparing-for-a-baby thing!
Hmmm....for some reason these bananas disappeared faster than the usual bunch of 4....
