| When life gives you rotting bananas, there's really only one thing to do... |
 |
| Pull out the tried and true and tasty recipe that first came from Beth |
 |
| Then find yourself a weirdo helper chef and suit her up | |
 |
| She remembers that her grandfather always sported a towel on his shoulder when cooking |
 |
| First, measure the butter carefully, and make a precise cut |
 |
| eh, close enough. Something was distracting her.... |
 |
| Hmmmm. Look what's being erected in the next room.... | | | | | |
|
|
|
 |
| Nevermind that. It's time to measure the sugar! With a gravy ladle. |
|
 |
| Again with the precision! |
 |
| Busted in the act of "cleaning up" the sugar. |
 |
| Ooooh, this is getting really tall. |
 |
| And look, there are prisoners! And intruders! |
 |
| But never mind that, it's time for the best part! |
 |
| Details, details. |
 |
| Now the second best part! |
 |
| Meanwhile, this thing is almost to the ceiling! |
 |
| And this bad boy is almost to the oven! |
Missions accomplished. Now for a grand finale:
I love hearing the sound of your chitlins' voices, Jacquie. I miss you all desperately. And your house-o'-fun, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am tired of cooking alone. Can't you send one or both of them my way so I can enslave, er, apprentice them? The Vulcan is waiting . . .

Best apron ever?? Yes!!
ReplyDeleteGood to always have safety goggles around when you are asked to destroy tall buildings with a single bound.
ReplyDeleteI must say that I can improve that recipe 100% with the addition of half a bag of chocolate chips :) We do a variety of semi-sweet and milk chocolate. I can't say that there needs any improvement on that rocking apron..loveit!
I agree, your girl is rocking that best-apron-ever :-)
ReplyDeleteIt has been so long since we've made that delicious bnana bread. And now I want to try it with chocolate chips. But there are never any rotting bananas in our house -- that baby girl is like a monkey. (In many ways, but in this instance I am referring to her penchant for eating bananas...)
Can't belive that boy of yours let that girl of yours topple to tower. Such a gentleman!
xo,
Beth
She made that apron in sewing class at school, my boy has one too :)
ReplyDeleteI love the recipe as is, it's delish. I do put a dash of vanilla in with the eggs, or if we don't have vanilla, a splash of coffee. Yum.
And Beth, that tower was built and rebuilt about 800 times, the boy had many chances to destroy it as well. I have hours of video.
