Show Page 8 OREM TIMES Thursday, April 3, 2008 Emily Marlowe NOTH COUNTY STAff I want to love fruit. I want to be the kind of person that has fruit sitting on the counter all the time, and snacks on it through out the day. But, there are only a few select fruits that I really enjoy. This Ls partly because I have a problem with food that has "texture." Some fruit just has a texture that my cheeks and tongue do not agree with, and partly because I am allergic to some fruit. It can cause small sores in my mouth, and then I cannot enjoy good food in life like bread. But, whh that said. I do love bananas. 1 love to peel a banana from the bottom instead of the top (this causes your banana td be less "stringy".) I love to cut a banana up and put it on top of my Rice Crispy cereal in the morning, or often at night. I think bananas are fun to eat. And let me tell you first hand, that bananas help whh morning morn-ing sickness, or a touch of the stomach bug. They are proven to settle an upset stomach. I want to share a few ideas with you about bananas, and nsv.J Elder Quest seminar An Elder Quest seminar and luncheon Ls planned at the Northampton House, 198 W, 300 North, American Fork, on April 14.

Barbara was pleased to share her recipe, and I was excited to try h. I enjoy making banana ba-nana bread, and my husband enjoys eating it even more. I have shared whh you in the past a banana bread recipe, but Barbara's is delicious and you may just find that h will replace your old banana bread recipe. As bananas ripen, they will taste sweeter because the starch jn the fruit will turn to sugar. You can toss bananas to your cereals, salads, yogurt, salsa, smoothie or shakes. You should store your bananas ba-nanas on the counter at room temperature until they reach the ripeness you want, and then you can store them in the refrigerator. The peel of the fruit wiD darken in the refrigerator refrig-erator but the banana inside will remain firm and delicious. To ripen a banana faster, place in a brown paper bag whh an apple or tomato overnight. If your bananas are very ripe, but you won't get around to making Barbara's bread for a couple of days, mash your bananas and place in the freezer freez-er in a freezer bag. This way they are ready to be thawed and used when you are ready to bake. Bananas contain three natural sugars sucrose, progresses. All auction hems are valued val-ued at $25 or more.

Still, we thought the Japanese were going to fight to the bitter end. I know we only had two atomic bombs at the time, though the Japanese emperor didn't know that. We were the first people to tour Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and we were foolish, because we went in on open buses. We couldn't believe the sights. Every Ev-ery little Japanese house had a little floor vault, and that was all that remained of houses. For miles and miles h was devastation. devasta-tion. We found a chy trolley car out in the middle of a farm area. I found a trolley track wrapped right around a tree. The hospital was still standing, but all the rain dowaspouts were broken and were pointing point-ing in the same direction, away from the source of the blast. Because I partly realized what had happened, I wondered won-dered about the possibility of radiation, but nobody else seemed to be bothered by it. I still went on the tours. After we left Japan, we did what was called "birddog duty." A lot of U.S. planes were being ferried from Pacific Pa-cific islands back to the States. If the planes went down, we'd go pick up the crews. I think some of those airplanes weren't in very good shape. We did save a few people. After birddog duty, we went in the middle of the winter to Alaska, to see how well our electronic equipment worked under adverse cold conditions. It was very cold. The guns on our destroyer were all covered whh ice. We were in the Alaska for quhe a while, then went through the Panama Canal and got off the ship in Newport, R.I.

I said to myself, "We can't have another war in four years" the length of the Reserve commitment." Not being be-ing too smart, I signed up and missed the Korean War by just a few weeks. A few months after I left active duty, I even received a letter from the Navy telling me I could become an officer. I wrote back, "Thanks, but no thanks." Thank goodness for that. I was the only Mormon aboard ship. A guy came to me one day when things weren't looking very good. We were going out for battle duty again. He asked me, "Chris, do you know how to prayr I replied, '1 sure do. I pray every day." "I don't pray," he said, "and things are looking pretty bad for tomorrow. Could you give me a short course in prayer?" He was dead serious. I almost al-most laughed, but instead I said, "Sure." I had a good friend in the Navy, a very smart guy, who was on the ship USS Indianapolis, Indianap-olis, which carried the atomic bomb to the island of Tinian. I'd been through basic training train-ing whh him. I didn't know then that the Indianapolis had been torpedoed by a Japanese submarine on hs way back from Tinian, before the atomic bomb was dropped. Of course the sinking of the Indianapolis was all blamed on the ship's captain, even though the ship had sent out messages of being be-ing torpedoed. From what I've heard, those receiving the messages thought that the Japanese were trying to trick the Americans. The survivors of the ship were in the water four days. My friend was killed by a shark. Only when I later tried Td locate him by locking up his . name6nthelntererdia i learn that he had been killed. Of 1197 men aboard the Indianapolis, 900 survived the sinking. A third of those were taken by sharks; a third died of exposure or drowning; only 317 survived. . 1f78 S.
