Banana Bread

In between this morning's amazing gingerbread waffle (whole-wheat, sour cream, molasses) breakfast and what has lately become our ritual yard tour of new snow beauty and damage, Mama and Miki cranked out a banana bread.

And just as Miki and I were getting cold and wet and ready for a dash back inside to warm up with lunch, tea and a snack, Mama yells thru the window that the "bread is ready!"

We all munched on a light lunch of veggies, dried fruit, "ants on a log", a fresh pear and some roasted nuts. Then I brewed a small pot of ocha and for dessert, Miki cut into her first banana bread.

Sam and her belly sat around looking like no strangers to the baked goods.

Bon apetit, indeed.
