What to do with gross looking bananas:

I'm taking a short break from untangling in my neurons the terms liberal cosmopolitanism and deontological libertarianism to tell you about the fantastic creation I created whilst not all the things I was supposed to be doing.

My mom and my sister always used to make the best chocolate chip banana bread, but I am about a thousand miles away from that recipe. Also, I'm pretty sure banana bread like that is the reason pants don't fit anymore. So I invented the first recipe I have ever invented and here it is! I was so surprised that it didn't suck that I am blogging for the first time in months.

Mix together:
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 cup splenda
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup applesauce

Then add:
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas
3 egg whites and 1 whole egg
2 tsp vanilla extract

Then mix in:
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

and.....
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Spray and flour a bread pan, cover everything lightly with tin foil, then bake it at 325 degrees for 30 minutes. Then take off the tin foil and bake it for 40 more minutes. Then, if you can (I couldn't) wait until it cools down a little bit to cut it. But whatever, really.

As far as reading goes, I am about 250 pages behind where I'd like to be right now, and I have been averaging between 10 and 20 pages/hr. This may be the last you ever hear of me until 2015 when I graduate.

Love,
Emily
