Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring…banana bread
My darling husband likes bananas. This is a fact.
My darling husband likes organic produce. This is also a fact.
Does it not seem logical that I would buy him some organic bananas at the store? It seemed reasonable to me. However, for some reason, those bananas sat on our counter and got squishy without getting eaten. What’s a girl to do but make banana bread?
The banana bread took longer than I expected, so I got to bed pretty late and I’m tired. It’s some damn fine banana bread, though. We helped our friend Kaspar clean out his pantry before his recent move, which left me with a bunch of shaved almonds, which make a nice crunchy topping. Denny has requested a peach pie in the near future, too, so I may be baking a lot. This surprise cool snap we’ve had is very conducive to that.
Updated: Denny produced a lovely photo of the aforementioned banana bread. He also has a really gorgeous shot of some garden onions. It looks like something out of a lah-di-dah cookbook.
I think this cool snap is going to be just that…a snap. Better bake while you can.
I love banana bread with peanut butter on it. Wow. What a treat.
We always seem to end up with leftover bananas, too. I wonder what the deal is. It’s not like they’re that difficult to eat.
[…] Some times I’m glad that I forget to eat my bananas before they go bad. Black bananas make great banana bread. And if you’re especially lucky like me, they magically turn into banana bread with no personal intervention. […]
