キャロルとその息子クリフの会話
・ Cliff : Oh, gross! These bananas are mushy.
(Cliff takes the bunch of bananas to the trash.)
・ Carol : Don't throw them away. They're just a little overripe.
・ Cliff : But no one is going to eat these, Mom. They look rotten.
・ Carol : You're right. They don't look pretty, but they're perfect for using in smoothies or for making banana bread.
・ Clllf : I don't want to eat banana bread made with mushy bananas.
・ Carol : You like my banana bread, don't you?
・ Clllf : Yeah, it's the best.
・ Carol : Well, I always use overripe bananas. They make the bread sweeter and tastier.
・ Clllf : Really?
・ Carol : Yeah. If you look for banana bread recipes online you'll see that they all call for very ripe bananas.
・ Clllf : Well, in that case, let's make some banana bread!
・ Carol : Right now?
・ Clllf : Yeah, we can have some tonight and I can take some in my lunch tomorrow. Please, Mom?
・ Carol : OK, but will you help me?
・ Clllf : Sure! 111 do the measuring.
・ Carol : OK, get out the flour, eggs, milk and sugar.
・ Clllf : When we finish making banana bread, can we make banana smoothies too?
・ Carol : Not tonight, but put a few of the bananas in the freezer and you can use them for smoothies tomorrow.
