I know. I stink at updating this thing but I've been busy. Kind of. The green bags stunk when it came to my bananas. As you will see from the photo there is no real difference between the bananas that were in the bag (right of picture) and the one not in the bag (left of picture). However all was not lost. The bags did work for my strawberries and asparagus. Both were kept in the fridge and looked as good as new after 1 week (sorry no pics). I think part of the banana problem had to do with living in Hawaii where I have no AC. The bag built up condensation everyday do to the humidity which needed to be cleaned out making them a pain in the butt. The condensation was not as bad in the bags kept in the fridge but they still needed to be wiped out every couple days. All in all the bags seemed to work somewhat for certain produce but took some extra maintenance to ensure condensation was kept to a minimum. At this point I'm not totally sold on them but am giving them another shot. Out of 5 stars I'd give them a 3 (only because they worked on the strawberries and asparagus).
Now that I've addressed the food we can move onto the fun. Last weekend I made my first trip to the windward side of the Big Island. I flew into Hilo and went to see one of the worlds active volcanoes, Kilauea. While you can see the photos on my facebook page I will say its fascinating to see the steam pouring out of the steam vents scattered all over the area, the massive amount lava from previous years of eruption, and the small green shrubbery finding a way to grow between the lava fields. If you get a chance you may want to check it out sometime.
