Four old banannas=banana bread

The classic thing to do with bananas over the hill is to make banana bread. I also have a package of walnuts (sorry Kelly) that are going into it too. My big mixer makes a double batch in no time. The recipe is an old one from the United Methodist Woman's cookbook that Candy gave to us along time ago. Those recipes are really good for bringing back that homemade taste that doesn't rely on the modern day affectations.

Students today were working on a really big matching puzzle on the board. The vocab topic is selling professions. Many of them are based on the car dealership model and all of the selling that goes around that. We have the automoblie salesman selling cars, the insurance agent selling insurance... one of my students explained it in this way. If you have that you don't have to have a car wash when you die.. Thats about how it is around here.

We are slso working on the customer service representative (thats an awfully big word Mr. Brown). I have been teaching them to notice when you are talking about service think "mechanic". When you hear stock, think "putting things on the shelves." We also talked about what a cashier does, and what a route salesman does.

Its amazing what new concepts they are learning and what they will probably forget tomorrow.

They had to guess the job from the group from a scenario at the end:

Jim has a new job selling brooms using the telephone. What job does he have?

Sara says that I should talk to her about the new corvette on the lot. What job does she have?

Paul works for the Dodge dealership in Service. What job does he do?

Makes for an interesting day.
