From World of Monkey. I personally go for 4s or 5s because I hate any sort of blemishes on the banana. I've only recently been able to eat bananas again, as I find their texture to be slightly unpleasant.

Hard Boiled Eggs
I love hard-boiled eggs because they're tasty and full of protein. I will often have one as part of my breakfast or a post-work-out snack. Here's how I usually make my hard-boiled eggs:
- Put 1 large egg in a pot with water. Most people recommend covering the egg with an inch of water, but since the only pot I own deep enough to cover the egg that much is quite large and would take forever to boil, my eggs are not usually fully submerged and it's never been a problem.
- Bring water to just boiling.
- Remove from heat before the water starts really boiling. Cover with a lid.
- Leave egg in covered pot for 15-20 minutes.
- For softer boiled egg, remove from pot sooner. Otherwise, after 15-20 minutes, place egg in ice water until cool. (This prevents the green coloring around the yolk.)
- Remove shell. Slightly older eggs are the easiest to de-shell.
- Eat! (This is the shortest part of the whole process.)
Doritos Late Night Last Call Jalapeño Popper
I was hoping for something as spicy as Doritos Fiery Habanero when I decided to pick these up from the snack machine. I was slightly disappointed after the first bite, but the heat picks up slightly with the more chips you eat, and the overall flavor is still much more pleasant and subtle than regular Doritos.

Recipe: Jiffy Chocolate Muffin...Brownies!
I found a package of Jiffy Chocolate Muffin Mix at the grocery store and picked it up out of curiosity. Once home, I realized that I didn't have a muffin tin, and decided to go for a more dessert type dish instead. It was a smash with my friends.
Preheat oven to 400°. Combine dry ingredients until evenly distributed. Add egg and milk. Continue to stir until batter is fairly consistent.
- 1 Package of Jiffy Chocolate Muffin Mix
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Instant Coffee
- ¼ Cup of Milk
- 5 Oreos, Crushed
Preheat oven to 400°. Combine dry ingredients until evenly distributed. Add egg and milk. Continue to stir until batter is fairly consistent.
Grease a small pan (mine was approx. 10" long x 6" wide x 2" deep) and then pour in batter. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes. (Note: the box calls for the muffins to be baked 11 - 13 minutes. It took my dish considerably longer to finish.)

Deep Fried Oreos
Today I found my first street fair of the season, which meant my first fried Oreos of the season. Mmmmmmm. No surprise it made the unhealthiest carnival food list.
