Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I had looked at plantains in the grocery store quite often, and my daddy used to talk about eating them and how they grew wild in Panama, where he served during World War II. I never bought them, though, because I had no idea how to cook them. Our friend Mary Queyja is a vegetarian and something of a naturalist. She always brings the most interesting foods to the monthly pot luck dinners for our Retired Teachers group. At the last meeting she brought baked plantain. I loved it!!! It looks like a banana, but it does not taste like an over-ripe banana and is very firm, more like a green banana. The plus side is they are chocked with Vitamin C and high in fiber; the downside is that they are high in carbs.
