Yesterday was a banana bread kind of day. It was sleeting and cold and the bread baking made the house smell wonderful. We’re not big banana eaters. When I buy a bunch, they just sit on the platter. Waiting to be made into bread, I guess.
Someone got me this Betty Crocker’s Cookbook for a wedding present and it has been one of the best gifts I received. Hey, I may just buy about 8 of these for all the weddings I’ll be attending this year.
Before the kids got home…
…and after.
