Banana Bread
30-Aug-2008
The mornings are dark now, and autumn is creeping in around the edges. When I go outside in the morning I have to look for the webs the spiders built overnight to ensure that I’m not what becomes entangled in them. The house is cool in the morning so it’s nice to get up and bake. Today’s project: Banana Nut Bread. I made a double batch – one to eat now and one to pop into the freezer.
