The waiting game

When we were kids, my mom would offer a banana to my brother, who would refuse to eat it. When mom asked why, he said he was waiting for it to go mushy "so the girls can make beignets out of them".
The direct translation would be "doughnut", but that's not quite what our great-grandmother's recipe was about.
I'll never forget my 3 year old brother's anticipation.
So here again, I'm waiting for them to go ripe. Then I'll make banana-Nutella muffins again.
