Today is sunlight in my kitchen. Banana bread cooling on the counter. And a hot kettle.
Today is the first day back (after a long hiatus) -- not to cooking, and certainly not to eating -- but to writing. The photo and this little text is, for me, a way of capturing the essence of the act of baking. In the same way that the finished loaf captures the fragrance, flavor, and texture of its ingredients -- bananas, eggs, flour, soda, sugar, vanilla, walnuts. It is a humble and edible artifact, yet so much more than a sum of its parts. Nutritious inspiration, it is a fresh-baked tribute to life, and good health, and friendship, and love.
And to picking up where I left off.
please post the banana bread recipe you use so others can share my pleasure!
