Banana Cake

 I am sharing the best banana cake recipe that I have been making again recently.  It started when my friend S brought over 3 overripe bananas by chance.  It is the secret to a good banana cake or bread in my opinion, it has to be overripe bananas.  The cake is so moist.  I don't bother with the cream cheese icing, save the extra calories.

Happy July 4th and a wedding cake

 Happy July 4th to our American friends and family!  Have a fun and safe celebration.

Daughter L was at the wedding of a friend recently and learned that the bride had made her own wedding cake as pictured above!  It was a delicious carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.  The bride said she had learned to bake during covid!

Fresh Herbs

 These are some fresh herbs (tarragon, oregano and basil) that I snipped from my new plants to go into some bean soup the other day.  They smelled so good when I chopped them up to add to the soup.

White Bean Soup

 I made this white bean soup for a friend who is undergoing chemotherapy treatments for lung cancer.  Her prognosis is good.

I basically used this recipe without ham and added half a tablespoon of extra salt.  I substituted cans of white beans and pinto beans for kidney beans.

Here is My July 2022 Art Calendar Page.  The quote I chose was:

“July is hot afternoons and sultry nights and mornings when its joy just to be alive. July is a picnic and a red canoe and a sunburned neck and a softball game and ice tinkling in a tall glass. July is a blind date with summer."      

- Hal Borland.

And Happy Canada Day!

Rain's Thursday Art Date - Silver and Gold

 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date's 'Silver and Gold theme' for Colourful June.  I did some splatter painting on a small (2 1/2" x 3 1/2 ") art card.  I was inspired to fashion it into a wave.  Then I added a mythical water dragon for more effect!
