mein gott it's goot!


Stella can't eat bananas. Seriously, I may as well feed the child a bag of cement.
Frieda's not that into them.
I'm not a huge fan having eaten far too many when I was pregnant with Frieda (Oh wait, I'm seeing a correlation here ...).
Husband likes bananas but can't really be expected to solely consume all the bananas which still somehow manage to make their way into our house.

Banana bread however - we'll all happily eat that. (Except Stella who still has the whole er ... solidity ... issue to contend with.)

And really, when it comes to banana bread there is no contest. Julochka's Grandma Goot is The Ultimate Banana Bread Babe of all time.
Don't take my word for it. Make one today.
With or without chocolate.

And incidentally, a good Mama, when baking banana bread a couple of days before Easter, takes the time to blow the eggs required in order to have blown eggs (or hollowed eggs) available for decorating over the Easter weekend.
This Mama was good, but who knew blowing eggs was such hard work!
I think I may have had a harder time than the chicken who originally produced them.
Seriously, for someone who narrowly managed to avoid natural labour twice this was some exertion. I had to check my eyes for burst blood vessels afterward.

I think we'll only have a few eggs around for decorating this year ...

Get chocolate eggs for the kids and keep the banana bread for yourself. That's what I would do.

I've never made banana bread. It's just too painful to watch a bunch of bananas turn speckled and browny.
I like mine on the greener side. Not too sweet and mushy. (and i may have a banana-banished baby here pretty soon, too)

Looks like Kitty is eyeing the banana bread too...

Ooooh I haven't made that for ages. Yum, it's so delicious.

I enjoyed the mental image of you egg blowing ;-) x
