Yummyness!

Yes, that is a word!! Don't debate me on this. There are two things I truly enjoy doing that don't make me feel like I am ever working hard at something: 1) taking photographs, and 2) baking. I got into a baking mood today because we had two bananas that were slightly out of their prime sitting on my kitchen counter. Normally, I would make banana bread with them. But I felt like doing something different so I hopped online and found this delicious recipe for chocolate-banana cake!

The funny thing is, while I was baking this cake (and Noah was FINALLY taking a long afternoon nap), I was chatting via text with my good friend Corinne. And guess what?? SHE was baking today too! From scratch too! I laughed out loud and told her I knew we were just destined to be friends! She posted a really sweet (no pun intended) blog entry on what her family calls "cozy pie." I love it!

Meanwhile, back in my residence, Eric was sort of mad at my efforts to undermine his weight loss. But the way I see it is banana bread *seems* more healthy because it is called bread, not cake. But really, the calorie count is pretty much the same, without frosting. So I am skipping frosting and just eating the cake! And I have a sneaking suspicion that Eric will succumb and eat at least one piece tonight. :D

We are about to get cozy and settle in for a long LOST finale! Hope everyone enjoys it, and it is all I hoped and more!
