gateway too easy

I lost my voucher for the election for the first time in my life. How stupid of me,,, But I went to vote anyway with my driver’s license for identification. They made me write my name, address and birth date, and that was it.
I voted all right. But wasn’t it too easy?
Voter turnout was lower than 50%, so you could vote for somebody else with little difficulty.

leftover banana goes to...

I have tried apples, pineapples in curry and those were not bad at all.
today, when I saw leftover bananas hung on a banana stand,

the banana chops were nicely absorbed as I expected and we could smell the banana and enjoyed the curry.

mother doesn’t let foods ripen.
