Going nannas

Today I made a chocolate and banana loaf. It's yummy. A few chunks of chocolate make a boring 'ol banana loaf go down a lot better. My loaf tin is a bit small for the recipe, but I just shoved it all in anyway and hoped for the best.

Now, it's a bit of a quandry, because I really like banana bread with a bit of butter on top. But with the chocolate, it doesn't work like that... and it's a bit of a shame. Not that I won't eat it all readily.

In need of tea

Feeling somewhat stressed out again - I'm desperately in need of tea and crumpets. Or cake. I don't mind which.

The house is all sorted and we move in next weekend - I'll be doing some packing tonight, when all I really want to do is some quilting and sewing. That's my refuge but I just don't have time at the moment. Cannot wait to move into the new house - I'll have a sewing room!!

I made some banana loaf at the weekend, but despite the recipe being from 'Mary Berry's Baking Bible' I was uninpressed with the outcome - much too heavy and greasy than my normal recipe. Black mark against that one in the book I'm afraid, Mary.

It's in the eyes

The monkey sock Sock Monkey has got eyes! I sewed these on last night, as he was sitting on the bookshelf eerily watching me, or rather not watching me due to his lack of buttons. I thought about omitting the buttons altogether, as the bananas on the pattern made him look asleep.

I must get back to quilting - too many sock monkeys does not a teapot quilt finish....
