I was jungle hungry, so some of this sandwich didn't make it to picture time.

People give cockroaches too much credit. I’m pretty sure that after the apocolypse, those crunchy little creatures are going to be hailing to the all important and all powerful peanut butter and banana sandwich. Why? Because they’re awesome, and you can find the ingredients for them pretty much everywhere and they’re hearty, fatty sweet and vegan. Case closed in one poorly constructed run-on sentence.

I know what you’re thinking guys. Willworkforfoodgirl is such a good food blog written by an amazing food writer that knows everything about food. Don’t I know it? Don’t think that every time I sit down to hammer out a post, I don’t realize that each one is going to revolutionize the home cooking world. Look at this one. I’m sure you’re thinking, “Holy shit! Peanut butter and banana sandwiches… that’s more revolutionary than the occupy movement and DDR combined!” But I wish you guys would stop thinking that because really it’s a lot of responsibility. I’m not the V for Vendetta guy. Although I would like to challenge him to an ‘eggs in a basket’ off. In the end he would probably win and then brainwash me. It’s okay. I’d look good bald.

Since you already know how to make a peanut butter and banana sandwich, this post is just to serve as inspiration. Go eat one now! No bananas? Sub out another fruit. I used papaya when I was in Panama. It was awesome. Pineapples and mangoes also get the green light. Then experiment… Grill it, fry it, batter it and fry it (umm…. yes).

This post is also to serve as a “Hello! I’m back in the states! U.S.A! U.S.A!” I’ve been in Panama, where the grass is literally greener and the heavens are closer. I’ll probably share some photos and some travelogs on here later on this week. Perhaps it’s time to start separate photo and travel sections here on wwffg. Perhaps.

Ahhh… It’s good to be back home. Hot showers. An oven to bake in. A big computer. WiFi. Oh shit, I sound so domesticated. If you would have seen me on Sunday morning you would know that this is not really the case. I strolled into the hostel covered in crusty dried mud, wearing the last of my dry clothes (jorts, a sportsbra and a hippie belly shirt… you know, super stylish stuff), and I’m pretty sure that’s the moment when I knew I could totally make it as a traveling vagabond.

Man, this post is so dimensional… Not only is it’s purpose to talk about those other super blogworthy things, it’s also a call for suggestions. I’m going to do some baking for this blog and my family tomorrow (see who comes first?) and I was wondering if you have any awesome citrus and cardemom baked goods that you absolutely love. I have some sweet little oranges and hella fresh organic cardemom that are begging to be put together. I’m kinda feeling bundt cake, but I’m not completely sold on the idea…

But enough of this for now (don’t you dare let out that sigh of relief). I’ve got a bunch of catching up and lazing around to do today. Stay tuned for some travel tales and for a wwffg baked goods monstrosity.

Thanks for stopping by!
