Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
((((Hugs)))).
Thanks everyone. Sadly, my brother is in pain and has numerous issues.
I can’t really text right now. I’m too upset. I will go back in the morning. I’m exhausted.
This never gets any easier, does it?
Maybe I will try to reduce the sugar in my banana bread recipe, because the ripe bananas are sweet so, it probably will still be sweet enough.
I am not a sugar addict. I don’t put any sugar in my coffee or tea.
I started putting maple syrup in my oatmeal instead of sugar. I like it better. I only use one teaspoon of maple syrup. Sometimes I add peanut or almond butter as well for protein.
I am going to make zucchini bread soon. I think I will try the icing. I have only had it plain but I think it would be good iced.

NHWM - Your banana bread recipe is very similar to my muffin recipe and I use 1/2 cup sugar for that.
I know your son in law looked forward to taking banana bread home with him. It is easy to make and delicious.
He must have been crazy about it to eat six pieces!
Mom did allow us to have one or two small cookies after school with milk. We weren’t allowed to eat as many as we wanted because she said that it would spoil our appetite before dinner.
Oh, but she broke that rule with her grandchildren. Hahaha. My girls got lots of cookies! I suppose that is part of the joy of being a grandparent.
I bet your son’s friend was thrilled to take home the remainder of the cake.
It was always a huge treat for me when I visited my parents and grandparents and I got to take home one of my favorite treats!
My grandfather made the best candy, pralines and peanut brittle.
Grandma made divinity candy but it wasn’t my favorite. I did like her fudge but she hardly ever made it. She made homemade ice cream to die for! We ate that immediately! As children mom only allowed us to have dessert on Sunday. Same thing with sodas. It was a treat, not an everyday thing.
Mom made a delicious chocolate cake called ‘Heavenly Hash’ cake. If my brothers got to mom’s house before me I didn’t get any.
Everyone was crazy about that cake! She got the recipe from our local newspaper. Sometimes she bought the cookbooks that were sold at churches as fundraisers. They have all of the tried and true recipes from the women at the church. So good! Home cooking at its finest!
Need - love Carole King. She is so talented. One of the oldest son's fave performers.
llama - he must have been working hard so a tummy full of good banana bread just sent him off to sleep!
It sounds fabulous! The icing sounds delicious. I always make mine plain but it would be a treat to have a cream cheese glaze drizzled on top!
Love her! Having flashbacks of my younger days. I played her albums a bazillion times.
Would have loved to have seen her live. Crappy weather here. Severe thunderstorm warnings just came on television for our area.
Just what you wanted and needed!
You are next Cwillie! Have you ever tried a rain dance?
