Belated triumph, but triumph!

Bananas were on sale $0.29/lb on Tuesday, so I picked up a bunch. Had one, and the others were heading towards overripe very fast, so I made banana bread. (Out of three of them. There is one left for peanut-butter-banana sandwiches, still.)

Used this recipe, and it took me about eighty-five minutes to bake, not fifty-five. I am not entirely sure why--I think that using a foil loaf pan might have allowed it to bow out in the middle a bit, and make it thicker there, but the pan was an inch and a quarter narrower than the recipe recommended to start with, so I doubt that's it.

(Also? Walked the dog. With perfect timing. It had just settled down to a nice steady light rain when I went out.)

Am hoping the banana bread turns out better than dinner. Made steaks, which was fine, but I, er, sort of used the Mrs. Dash on them instead of the steak spice. Still quite edible, though. :) And on the plus side, it taking so long means I had a chance to rinse the dishes and put them in the dishwasher.

Banana bread currently cooling on a wire rack inside the microwave, since I do not trust the beady little eyes of our poor cats who have never been fed ever, and I am going to bed.

Dear human-exterminating overmind Archos?

I am actually fairly sure that not all babies are pink, and that not all of the brilliant tool-using scientific progress that went into your creation stemmed from the ones that were. Maybe "flushed". You could have gone with flushed as an adjective. I would be rather less annoyed.
