Better

[clevermanka]

I slept most of Saturday (seemed like it, anyway), and took it easy yesterday. I'm feeling much better today, despite abusing my digestive system something awful over the past 48 hours.

I ate too much this weekend, and very little of it was healthful. But mmmm.

Here is a new recipe I tried for banana bread, if you're interested. I was impressed. I think this'll be my standard recipe from now on. I baked mine in a stoneware four-loaf mini-loaf pan and cut the baking time to 45 minutes, if you plan to do the same (looking at you, renniemom). The recipe has only 1/3 cup of honey per batch (four mini-loaves) and I used 100% Stone Ground Whole Wheat White Flour. So not too awful.

I saved the awful for Rice Crispy Treats with honey-roasted peanuts and white chocolate chips. On Sunday, mckitterick and I had Yello Sub for lunch and sushi for dinner. It was a carb/sugar extravaganza. Let us not speak of it again.

I just heard a conversation in the hallway: Construction in Wescoe is causing the rain to leak into classrooms on the third floor. Wescoe has four floors.

Is it really supposed to rain until Thursday? Wow.

This sounds like my apartment, which occasionally leaks from the ceiling, a few feet from the outside wall. I live on the first floor of a two-story building.

Thanks for sharing! I'll be trying that very soon and we'll see how it compares to my grandmother's recipe that I normally use. Before long it will be time to start my holiday baking and freezing...

Glad you're feeling better, sorry you're soggy :-(

Next time I'll try it with spices, dried fruit, etc. The first time I try a recipe, I follow the rules before adding any crazy improv stuff. I'll let you know how my fiddling goes.

I missed you at the Replay Saturday. It was fun and I danced like crazy. Plus, I made a very hip 3-tiered skirt that I wore--the bottom tier is Elvis fabric (that I over-dyed).

Glad you are feeling better. I have some squash if you'd like some.

Yeah, there was no way I was going to go out that night. Way too tired.

You're welcome! I'm glad we could provide a bit of distraction.
