My first gift here goes to Les (aka Purmusic) and is my recipe for Banana Bread. Which I made and brought into my office today, and my co-workers told me I can go home early to bake anyyyyytime. 8•D

Banana Bread:

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs at room temperature for 30 minutes
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cups coarsely mashed very ripe bananas (3 large)
2 tbsps cup crème fraîche*
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350°F (335 if using a non-stick or glass pan). Grease and flour a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.

Sift together 3 1/4 cups flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a bowl.**

Beat together eggs and sugar in bowl of electric mixer at medium-high speed until very thick and pale and mixture forms a ribbon when beater is lifted, about 10 minutes. Reduce speed to low and add oil in a slow stream, mixing, then mix in bananas, crème fraîche, and vanilla. Remove bowl from mixer and fold in flour mixture gently but thoroughly until dry ingredients are moistened.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

*Can use following substitutions: A) 1 tbsp sour cream mixed with 1 tbsp slightly softened cream cheese. B) 2 tbsp plain greek yogurt.

**If you are using a Kitchenaid mixer, you can skip this step. Add all dry ingredients directly to bowl with the bananas EXCEPT for flour. Then just add flour separately.

For Cat..

Nikka's Animaniacs Page


There's..

Documents, Pictures, Sounds & Video, Articles & Chats, Voice Actors, Fan Fiction, Merchandise, alt.tv.animaniacs, IRC, Various, Guestbook, and Feedback Form links.


A sampling from Documents..

You Know You've Been Watching Too Much Animaniacs When:

Every third sentence in conversation is 'WHY?'

You end every conversation with 'Okay, I love you, bye-bye'.

Every question begins with 'Are you pondering what I'm pondering...'

You have an urge to burst into song whenever you see a cat (or dog).

You find it impossible to walk down steps without saying "Boingy! Boingy! Boingy!"

You see someone described in print as a wacko and you immediately shout, "That's *K*-K-O!"

You see a pigeon wandering around your car and greet it in an Italian accent.

You have a recipe for tuna wiggle.

You know the POWER of the hat.

You're trying to explain a problem at work to your boss, and you tell her that the copier harfed.

In your resume, under "Previous Job Description", you put down "P-Sychiatrist to 3 zany puppy children!"

"Every third sentence in conversation is 'WHY?' "

I've done that.

"You end every conversation with 'Okay, I love you, bye-bye'. "

I've done that. So has my husband.

"Every question begins with 'Are you pondering what I'm pondering...' "

My husband has done that.

"You find it impossible to walk down steps without saying "Boingy! Boingy! Boingy!" "

Um. Not walking down the stairs, but....

"You see a pigeon wandering around your car and greet it in an Italian accent."

*Definitely* my husband. "Wossamatta you eh?"

"In your resume, under "Previous Job Description", you put down "P-Sychiatrist to 3 zany puppy children!" "

No, but I've been known to sing the little teapot song at work... not recently... but before that...

"I'm a little teapot short and stout. here is my handle and Here's a Note from my P-Sychiatrist He says I'm All Better because last week I Thought I was A Toaster!"

And I will add my own....

"If you form a Conga Line to Romp Romp Romp Ay!"

I thought it was like a campfire with cookies, cameras and easels. :-)

It's Christmas Eve here (for another half hour) but I'm taking the moment to say 'A' Happy Christmas to everyone... hope you enjoy your day!
