I made banana bread yesterday. It came out good. Usually when I make it in a bigger pan (like the recipe says to), it doesn't get done in the middle, but gets almost burnt on the bottom and side/edges. This time it was done in the middle. Maybe I just needed a gas stove all along. Lol.
I also made some whipped honey butter (pictured on the banana bread above). I need a new mixer. Sigh... I've had that one since I got married. 😵The beaters keep falling out. And one of them won't even *go*. For the honey butter, I just had written it down: 1/2 cup butter (softened and whipped-which just means beat with the beater), 1/4 cup honey and 2 tsps grated orange peel mixed in. That's it. I didn't have any orange peel. So I washed an orange and made my own... There's literally one slice of banana bread left. And it's only three of us here now...
Then I made some tea and had my own tea party. (Sigh)... How depressing is that? When you don't have any money, you make banana bread and have a tea party by yourself.. Then take pictures of it and blog about it. LoL. I need some real tea cups with plates. I don't even really actually like tea. Unless it's herbal/flavored. But I had too many flavors going here: Banana bread with honey butter and orange peel in it- wouldn't go too good with peppermint or lemon tea. Scones and Devonshire Cream would have been a little better. But this was pretty good.
I mentioned in my last post I found a wheelchair caddie I had started. I knew I had some other ones I had finished, too. But I could not find them anywhere. Today I was looking for a certain shade of purple yarn, and guess what I found? The bag of wheelchair caddies I had done. Never fails. I can't find anything when I'm looking for it (well sometimes I can), then when I'm looking for something else totally unrelated, I find the thing I was looking for before. But not the thing I am currently looking for. O.o Another thing I found (that I wasn't actually looking for) is the tunisian scrap strips I had started. I don't even know how long ago I started these (second picture down). Like when our oldest son and our middle son were little. Anyway, these are the caddies. The pattern is no longer available online. It was from "Around the Crochet Table". I was trying to find out what the copyright laws are about a pattern that used to be online, but it's no longer available... It wasn't a vintage pattern. It was from 2002. I wonder what happened... Anyway. These are for the Oglala Sioux Nursing Home, for a group I'm in on Ravelry. I want to get more chapsticks, and little Kleenex packs and whatever else I can think of to put in them. Little lotions? Hand sanitizer? And I was going to put a card in each one; "Thinking of you, hope you are having a nice day".. God knows I have enough cards, LoL. And I want to make some more caddies. I had started a square to make a lapghan to match, the one on the top left. Well, I actually finished the square. I didn't finish the lapghan, though.. 😝
Well I guess that's all for now.
~Until next time~
