Why eggs and bananas?

My wife (lets call her bananas) and I (let's call me egg) decided that we needed a blog. Why? I'm not sure exactly but as bananas has been on maternity leave for the past three or so months with the birth of our (obviously) adorable first child she has become quite interested in the writings of others. So why can't we have our own? The answer to that might be that our lives just aren't all that interesting or we are "teh sux" at writing but let's have a go anyway.

What's with the eggs and bananas? Eggs are white on the outside and yellow on the inside and growing up and being a half asian that could pass as an Italian I was always considered by my buddies to be like an egg - white on the outside but yellow (asian) on the inside as I'd been brougt up heavily influenced by my mum's values.

My lovely wife on the other hand is from a Vietnamese background but grew up in Preston, so she's much more "okka" than me. Ripe bananas are in general yellow on the outside. Disputably it is recognised that they are also white on the inside (I'd say they are just paler yellow but who am I to argue when it makes for a semi-interesting name for our blog).

So while I egg grew up being the neighbourhood "ching-chong", not wearing shoes in the house, not being really all that interested in footy and spending my Xmas holidays in Malaysia eating satay and curry mee, my wife the banana was setting herself up for a life with missing teeth as a Collingwod supporter, watching boxing day cricket and having Xmas BBQs.

Who the bloody hell are we? We lurve good food and travelling and go through hobby "phases" - currently we are learning how to do a Canon 40D justice and I'm going to have a go at roasting my own coffee with a popcorn maker. Bananas likes to be comfortable in tracky dacks or PJs around the house, often to the local Coles or friends places, and on occasion to "Chaddy" shopping Centre. She does also scrub up quite nicely when she feels like it, but those occasions are diminishing into her motherhood days. We're both usually "morning" people and hate to "waste" the day sleeping in but often spend "quality time" watching Oprah or surfing the net on blogs (Bananas) or surfing forums and playing games online (eggs). Being a pom by birth, I also like to whinge alot. I'm expecting to be doing much of that here :)
