Oh, well, it will still be good with some vanilla ice cream melting on top.
Nathan has been asking for banana nut bread ever since he had some at Bob Evans a few weeks ago. I figured while I had the oven going, I would use up the ripe bananas. That was a much more sucessful outcome.
We're going to the Hocking Hills this weekend with David's cousin Mark and his wife Cindy, who is also my best friend. We've rented a log cabin there the last three years. As it happens, it will also be my only vacation this year. Again, since I already had the oven at the right temperature, I made my dessert contribution to the weekend's feast. It's my mom's recipe for Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. She always made it every year for Christmas Eve when she had our family in for dinner. I usually make it as a layer cake, but a sheet cake is much easier to transport.
The kids and I carved the jack-o-lantern last evening. The boys drew the design on paper and I tried my best to recreate it. It's not half-bad, if I say so myself.
