You can toss your over-ripe bananas into the freezer while you decide what to do with them. Even when bananas are black on the outside, the fruit inside is still good. If you're going to make something like banana bread or muffins or cookies or cake, you want to start with very ripe bananas because they are easier to mash up and then you don't have little lumps of banana in your finished product. There are piles of recipes around, choose by using what you already know about muffin, bread, cookie or cake recipes. If you don't have enough too-ripe banana, then just leave what you have in the freezer until you have enough!
There is a company in Victoria, BC, Canada called Victorian Epicure. They make herb and spice mixes that are very high quality. I'm sure you can buy from them on-line. If you are looking to season up tomatoes, I recommend the Fines Herbes. There are other mixes with a more Italian flavour if you prefer.
