banana.catastrophe.

I just made two batches of banana bread with the five kids i've been hanging out with this week. We had 15 bananas in the freezer so we brought them to concord along with eggs and butter. We assumed they had all the other usual mixings. Upon further review, we found flour and sugar with the teeniest amount of vanilla (not even 1/4t), old and clumpy baking soda, rock hard brown sugar, and a dash of salt, literally. Needless to say, these loaves are easily the worst i've ever made. Tastewise they're fine, but they're more like flat densely damp bricks than the fluffy loaves i usually prepare. To mix it up a little, l. and i added a peach and pear to the second batch, and some vanilla cinnamon sugar. The slightly different flavor was great, so next time, when i have my own ingredients, i'll try this again.
