I had been trying to contact a consignment shop as a means of cleaning out nice clothes that no longer fit. Most would normally have good resale value. One place never got back to me. Then today I called another, further afield, and the woman had to refuse. She kept talking on about the whole situation with her small business, and others. She sounded so desperate that I thought she would start crying. It was very heartbreaking. Though I really could have used the money that it could have provided, now I'm thinking I might as well donate it. Even some of the best pieces. Or maybe if I do lose enough weight, some of it will even fit again.

I'm churning homemade ice cream right now. Caramelized banana ice cream. I'm experimenting with a lighter version, but not too much lightened. We'll see how it turns out. Any new ways of using up ripe bananas are welcome, in my book. It was great last time. Not too tempting since ice cream is not my passion.
