Posted by Tracy in : pictures, events, baking, dessert, recipes, cooking , add a commentHappy Sunday, all! Some of you (hi, Liz!) may remember this banana bread from this recipe here, which I posted sans illustrations because Liz asked nicely, just a few days before the announcement of Not Quite Nigella’s Banana Bread Bake-Off. Now, at long last, here’s the illustrated version I first alluded to more than a month ago. The finished product looks like this:
which is to say, pretty darn tasty. Now, here’s how to make it: (more…)

Posted by Tracy in : travel, school, friends , 1 comment so farThe taxi to the airport should be here in half an hour, so of course I’ve got a lot of last-minute running around to do, but where better to freak out than the Internet? I’ll be in Jersey tonight through Tuesday morning, then in NYC until Saturday freaky early.

Turns out I can still write picture captions, though, though, so I’m going to make a lot of image-heavy posts while I hope that words and I come back to an understanding in the not too distant future (like so I can write a bunch of emails before my trip out to New York starting Friday — eep!)
