As the weather heats up the bananas in my kitchen have started to brown a little faster. Although it is really too warm to bake I have been unable to resist the temptation to make Banana Bread. The girls and I free styled this recipe: Guestimative measuring, reckless use of the wrong pan size, and creative ingredient substitutions made this a fun baking experience. 2 cups all purpose flour.

My daughters both love it and so I had to find out how to make it for myself. I found several recipes online and played around with them based on what I had in the kitchen. This is my third attempt. and my first with a blender. The kids loved it and so I'm documenting it here. Posting this as part of Foodie Friday. Yesterday was Eg...

The pictures below are from a couple of years ago. I love the look on my little ones face when she experienced seagulls for the first time. This time was no different. I also won this nifty award.

Well maybe it is not that simple, but maybe a little simplicity is what I really need. So I'm looking around at natural options for my ailing gums and I'll see if they help. It won't be enough on it's own. I'll still need to get some work done. But perhaps I can avoid oral surgery for a while with a little TLC. Wednesday, August 24, 2011.

worth a knit: Naalbinding

A place for my crafty side: knitting, crocheting, basket weaving, and anything else that I find worth a knit. Like us on Facebook. Thursday, March 14, 2013. I was looking into the history of knitting in Egypt when I stumbled across a photo of these Coptic socks that were made in the 4th century. The divided toe is so that they can be worn with sandals. It looks almost identical to knitting, but it is really a very different technique called naalbinding. Let me know what you think by leaving a comment.

I never knew that Santa rode camels. but apparently here in Cairo he does! I guess a sled would be worthless in all this sand. Today was the last day of school before our winter break. I made cookies for the PreK class using a recipe my daughter brought home from her cookie baking class at school. They were delicious. 2 t baking soda. Ready for the oven.
