Loco Con Los Platanos

We finally have a way to peel green plantains without breaking or dirtying our beautiful long nails. The story of the E-Z Peeler, out today in the New York Times, is anecdotal and worthwhile. I would love to eat so many plantains that I would need one of these. There is also a plantain cookbook that is probably worth investigating.
