A Story


I had some overripe bananas and made 'banana banana bread' from allrecipes. For once, I did not burn it and it was fantastic! It did not last long.

My friend S has a good friend who lives on her own.  She doesn't drive so she walks ten or fifteen minutes to the grocery store.  This winter, she happened to be walking across a field on her way to the grocery store. Well, she slipped and broke her ankle in four places.  To make matters worse, she had forgotten her phone at home, which she never does.  After awhile, someone eventually came walking by and was able to help her.  Because she now lives alone in a townhouse with lots of stairs, she has to go to a rehabilitation facility after she leaves the hospital, to recuperate.  Of course paying for TV and wifi is expensive there ,so she may opt not get that.  Hopefully friend S can visit her soon.

I am sorry to hear about your friend's friend. That is a scary situation and the one time you forget your phone too. Glad she eventually got help and hope that she recovers quickly and won't be in rehab for too long. On the brighter side your banana bread looks wonderful! Something I haven't made in a long time and now you've sown that seed :) Have a great week Christine!

So sad about your friend S, friend and her fall. That was a nasty fall. Unfortunately many bad things happen that start with a fall. I hope she recovers completely with no complications.
Your banana bread looks delicious. I just had a slice of mine at 3 pm with a cup of coffee. My daily routine. Either Banana Bread, or scones...sometimes a cookie. Does your recipe call for buttermilk?

No buttermilk very simple.
