Banana Bread v2. Although I enjoyed my last banana bread, tonight's was so much better. I used +Kyla Myers recipe (http://goo.gl/neVGs) and added some dark chocolate chips (they were on hand and I have a sweet tooth). The recipe is awesome, thanks Kyla! The bread is moist and delicious. The hit of chocolate when you get a chip is quite satisfying. Thanks +Kristi Fahlsing for kitchen help tonight and modeling the final bread and butter pic. 😉
Note… I just purchased the bananas this evening but wanted them "over ripe" for the bread. I put them in the oven at the lowest setting for an hour. Well, I meant to do it an hour but forgot and left them in until they were black. Oops. They still worked out very well.

Very yummy +Lady Fran W! Looking forward to breakfast. 😉
+Kyla Myers Thank you! Worst part was getting the bananas to "over ripe" stage since we just bought them tonight.

+Dirk Reul I totally botched a batch of caramels earlier in the evening. I was talking and not paying attention and used regular sugar instead of brown sugar and corn oil instead of corn syrup. It was not pretty. I will remake tomorrow and post pics – fair warning! bwahaha!
And… in case anyone is wondering, I take most of this in to work so I don't eat it all! Perhaps it's time for some postal shipments? hehe
And… Dirk, I am excercing so much willpower leaving that comment go and staying PG, lol. 😉

You can make caramels with white sugar but the oil? Yeah, that won't work. Heh.

+Scott Cramer oh I can easily resists caramels.. I think .. <_<
and yes, I know, I do like to provide easy opportunities for my favourites here, be it you, +Kyla Myers or +Mellie B you all are having too much fun with it 😛 (I wanted to write easy openings but that would have been too much at this time )

(That's supposed to be saintly but grim).
Gotta make cake today.
Unfortunately, my cakes this year have been turning out bitter (too much bkg powder, likely), and family has been cajoling me not to 'waste my time' whenever I mention 'bake' and 'cake' in the same sentence.

If it makes you feel any better +Jyoti Dahiya, I woke up and the townhouse smells like onions more than banana bread! 😉

Doesn't surprise me, +Scott Cramer! You cut and I sauteed how many onions yesterday?? 🙂

Too many. I need a bigger cutting board. And knife skills.

Why do you need a cutting board for sauteeing onions? Mixer on the fritz?

Using a pulse setting, you can cut the onions into small pieces.

A while back I borrowed +Keith Cramer's. I am so used to hacking them up, I never thought of doing that. Doh!

it depends on what you want to do with them, the pulse setting will not create uniform cuts and will also cause a lot of liquid to be extracted from the onions. If all you want to do is cook the onions, then you should be fine with the mixer.

Going to try it. I am proof that you definitely don't have to know a lot to get in the kitchen and start cooking or baking. It just takes me a LOT longer sometimes until I learn more.

I learn something new every time I cook Scott, but I am always willing to offer advice if you ever have any questions.

Don't let +Scott Cramer fool you, +Dirk Reul, he has some mad cooking/baking skillz! I, on the other hand, plead insanity in the kitchen. :-/

LOL… last night I was ready to throw out the latest creation. I have zero skills rolling dough. Will post pics of final creation in a bit; basically dough on the bottom of a cookie sheet, apples in the middle, and dough on the top. I did not take any of the putting together process due to pulling out most of my hair until Kristi stepped in and, in the end, got everything pieced together. Very Frankenstein but it worked 🙂

+Micha Fire , my mother used to make this. It's cake. They call it bread in memory of Marie Antoinette.
+Scott Cramer , don't kick yourself. I find it easier myself to knife the onions than to pull out the mixer, but if I need onion paste OR a lot of chopped onions, the mixer will be pulled out.
Listen to me! I hardly ever cook, and when I do, my kid looks at me sadly and complains about preferring Dad's cooking (everyone does, it's no blow to my ego). AND we have a cook (this is India, cooks are hired by middle class unemployed types too).

Yup, food processor. I still call it a mixer/mixie. Sigh, what a dumb way to date myself. 😛
