I made banana bread today, using 6 of the bananas mentioned in my last post. DH did the mashing of them and he mashed another 4 smallish ones and froze those for future use. Ever since I started making a mixture of brown sugar, cinnamon, and coconut to put in the middle and also on the top of my regular old recipe my family has raved about how tasty it is. Since I took this picture middle son took 4 more bananas down to his kitchen to become banana bread or maybe muffins, He bakes good things!!
I had not yet tried baking in my 'new' 3 X 5 inch ceramic loaf pans but they work just fine and make perfect gift loaves!
I put away the Valentine's stuff and gave the sideboard a good dusting and a fresh look for Spring.
Put out some early Easter things on Mom's old sewing machine.
And so the day passed. . The last full week in February. It may be chilly and there's a skiff of snow on the ground but I'm thinking Spring!!
Thanks for coming by.

Winter finally arrived. Just a bit of snow Sunday, that melted before the deep freeze set in. But sunshine makes one thing of warmth, until you step outside!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of getting some small loaf pans and making some for gifts. So nice to see your Spring/Easter decor I am thinking I need to find some out.

ReplyDeleteYour displays definitely herald the coming of spring. I'd love to see what the treadle sewing machine head looks like....are all the decals still in place or have they rubbed off?

It's been quite some time since I actually took the machine itself up and out ( mainly it was to show M. that it was indeed a sewing machine). As far as I remember all the decals were still fine.
