Grilled banana
Childhood is the most beautiful time, a time full of games and full of memories that we can't possibly repeat that moment. I was born before millennium era or you can say I am is 90's generation, a generation that really enjoys childhood without being contaminated by onslaught of gadgets like now.
Our childhood was filled with traditional games, especially since I grew up in a small village in hills of mountains, far from hustle and bustle of city. Our childhood was filled with foods that might be considered strange, but we often eat them, I'm sure, now children are very different because starting from babies, they have been raised with all-technological facilities.
Sometimes I deliberately do activities that I used to do when I was a child, I still like playing marbles, I also still like watching Dragon Ball movies which until now I don't know what the ending will be. lol
Yesterday I visited my uncle's house, and came home with a typical rural fruit that is very easy to find, namely bananas, here almost every yard must be planted with banana trees, because it is easy to care for and will bear fruit even though fruit is only for own consumption.
I still remember very well when I was a child, I used to go to river and look for something we could enjoy with other children. One of the things we often do is grilled bananas, although we can actually enjoy them directly because bananas are ripe on tree. But we prefer to enjoy grilled bananas, one of our reasons we enjoy them more, because they are still warm. lol
So, bananas I got from my uncle's house, I grilled to remind me of my childhood, same bananas, same way to grill. But now it feels different. It's different because I enjoy this banana only with my mother and wife, without any of my childhood friends accompanying me to enjoy this grilled banana.
But I am very grateful because when I uploaded a photo of a baked banana on one of my social media, many of my childhood friends responded that they also missed good times when we were kids. But they commented that I grilled bananas too burnt. lol
It feels like time has passed so fast, I can't believe I'm getting older now. Even though it feels like just yesterday I was enjoying my childhood, twenty-five years ago I mean. lol
Did you also have a wonderful childhood like me? Write it down and make it a short story, don't forget to mention me to read it, thank you!
I love bananas when the are ripe and also love to eat curry but never tried the grilled one like that. But I think I would try once.
