Going Bananas

Jonathan's carved banana

Our son Jonathan, age 12, has an interest in "kitchen doings." (Our daughter Sarah helps a great deal with the cooking chores, her specialties being homemade salad dressings and crackers. David, our 17-year-old, can help in the kitchen, but that's "not his thing.")

Jonathan makes scrumptious desserts, and he is something of a food stylist. Here are photos of bananas he carved just for fun, impromptu. They look almost like carved ivory, don't they?
