a couple days before our wedding, my mom hosted a lovely brunch for the girls (Matt’s mom, sisters, my sisters, and me)
I received one of my favorite gifts from Matt’s mom: a collection of hand-written McDowell family recipes so I could make Matt some of his favorite things. love.
The other day I asked Matt to go through the recipes and choose the one he wanted me to make first. (I know... four months later ... slacker wife)
He chose banana walnut bread. I was really nervous about making this bread. I hadn’t ever made banana bread before… and of course I needed it to be perfect on my first try.
The recipe says it has to bake for 70 minutes! It looked normal and breadish after about 40 minutes, and smelled good… so I spent the next 30 minutes checking the oven every 1.8 minutes to make sure it still looked like bread. When it was done...
it looked like banana bread
it smelled like banana bread
it tasted like banana bread
it was banana bread.
:patonback:
Yum-O! Banana bread is one of my favorite things to make :) Why does it have to cook so long? I'll never know. My recipes always say 20 min. or something and that's a LIE. It ALWAYS takes forever. Weird.
