Potluck...

The office smells of food this morning. We have a potluck lunch the week before Thanksgiving, and I was up til after midnight last night making banana bread. I was so smart, thinking we had enough overripe bananas to make a double batch, then I thought "crap, I don't have a bowl big enough to mix this all up in!" John came to my rescue with the giant Tupperware bowl we use for taking salads to outings. It was plenty big enough for batter for four loaves. Whew! And my shoulder is sore from mixing. I baked three loaves last night, and another can be thrown in the oven this morning. Heh, we ate half a loaf for breakfast!

I always use the recipe from Mollie Katzen's Moosewood Cookbook. It's quite yummy. My brother introduced me to this cookbook ages ago, and I still love all the recipes written out in longhand with the doodles drawn around them. We have The Enchanted Broccoli Forest, too.

Oh, and some critter must have run up my sleeve and chomped on me; I discovered a big painful welt on my elbow as I finished. Seems to be mostly gone now, although it still feels a bit irritated.
