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

A knitting friend, book club colleague and neighbor invited me for soup and this was dessert. A hearty winter lunch. I walked around the block in the snow. Most people had shoveled. It took twice as long to get there, though

Street Parking Space Savers

The first photo is from 2010. What they called Snowmageddon.

STREET PARKING PLACEHOLDER

Street Parking Space Savers- revisiting Snowmageddon 2010. Many people are experiencing more snow right now. So is it a Pittsburgh thing? You see all kinds of chairs reserving parking spaces all around the city after someone has shoveled out their space, planning to return to it, later.
I’ve seen a port-a-crib to reserve a parking space!

And here’s the update on our 2026 snow. Thursday the fourth day that school is cancelled.
