Bread always gets loaded last, and not infrequently, it's got to

And then there are bananas. When I went to Marsh on purpose, I
redeemed a coupon for a free pound of bananas -- I bought more than a
pound of ripe bananas, and got the price of a pound of the
more-expensive green bananas taken off. I reserved one banana, the
(also free) container of yogurt, and a single-serve container of
potato salad for my lunch. (I was much impressed by a single serving
being available, much less impressed with the potato salad.)

Having packed everything else into my panniers, I balanced the bananas
in a groove between two lumps on top of one pannier, pulled both
handles of the bag they were in under the bungees holding my emergency
kit to the rack, pulled until the bananas were held gently but firmly,
and carried the handles over the emergency kit to tie them to the
front of the rack to keep the bag in that position.

And then I prepared to eat my lunch. With the plastic spoon I keep in
my emergency kit.

I think I threw the spoon into a convenient trash can to keep from
having to undo everything again.
