Watch out, Martha.

Yesterday, in my continued quest to use all of my whipping cream I made banana bread (I also had a bunch of overripe bananas on hand). I used this recipe from the Food Network website, but because I didn't read the reviews until this morning I didn't realize the baking time was too short. Nor that it would turn out so very sweet. I eliminated the chocolate "swirl" and added chips along with walnuts. It turned out to be a very moist bread with an almost pudding-like consistency to the bottom of the pan, where the bananas that had been folded in settled. Delicious, let me tell you. Cooled, it's managed to hold its shape very well. I've cut and pasted the recipe below, with a couple of possible modifications and suggestions noted in italics.

( Choco-Chunky Banana Bread, which is such a ridiculous name, but whatever )

Re-watched Wet Hot American Summer yesterday as well. It's one of those movies that grows on me the more times I watch it. If asked right now, I'd have to list it as one of my favorite movies ever.

I'm scheduled to work next weekend, and I'm already dreading it. Gah.

Set phasers to "fun," or "Things to do in NYC on 7/16/11"

Horrible, I know.

If you're in NYC this Saturday, July 16th at 8:30pm, feel free to participate in Improv Everywhere's MP3 Experiment (Number 8). All you have to do is visit Improv Everywhere's website on Friday, July 15th after 12 noon, where directions and the MP3 will be posted. Then download the MP3 to your player (refraining from playing it, of course), and make your way to the chosen location(s) prior to 8:30pm on Saturday.

I've participated in a number of these, and it's always been tons of fun. You can check out videos from the previous seven MP3 Experiments on the website and/or use the videos of the various Improv Everywhere events as a time sink. I'm particularly fond of the Subway Star Wars reenactment, btw.
