baking

This morning we woke up and baked banana bread. It isn't really baking weather but we turned the AC way cold and ignored the summer.

As usual, my job was to stir. The key to making the best and biggest loaf is not stirring very much (and always always always stir by hand but this rule applies to all baking). We put blueberries in our bread; I know when the stirring is done when all of the berries are hiding.

I could share my recipe, but I won't. My mom has recently but reluctantly shared her best recipes with Trinity: quiche, potato cheddar soup, and baked mashed potatoes.

After the loaf is tucked safely in the oven, my mom lets me lick the spatula. I would rather just eat the entire loaf raw.
