Sourdough Banana Bread

My granddaughter Maura baked Sourdough Banana Bread last week and sent a picture. I’d given her some sourdough starter a couple of weeks ago.

I felt inspired to try and bake it myself. Needed just 3 ripe bananas.

These little glass muffin cups held the leftover batter from the larger loaf.

Here’s the recipe I used. It was really good

Mine didn’t get that deep golden color

I love when my friends and family see abandoned furniture, they think of me. Thanks Laura. A good way to start my week.

Peppermint Stick Ice Cream an Annual Treat

There are bits of actual peppermint stick in the ice cream. My mother always enjoyed this flavor which would be in stores around Christmas.

I’m in Ohio overnight and this afternoon Laura texted me from the store. “Do you want anything?”

I said Peppermint Stick Ice Cream!

She didn’t just buy any old container, oh no, she bought the premium brandGraeter’s

Extra smooth and rich. I find it refreshing and totally satisfying. Nostalgic, too.

I know that Penn State Creamery has Peppermint Stick Ice Cream in stock now. It’s seasonal. You can order for delivery to 48 states. I only know this fact because my dear knitting friend Terry, orders up this flavor and has it shipped to her. She has a nice supply in her freezer.
