As I promised, 2 thumbs up

Professor gave the Banana Bread two huge thumbs up.  I laid down for a nap and when I got up I was glad I had taken a picture of the loaf pre-nap.  He took a huge hunk of it.  He makes me laugh, but I am so glad he likes it because it was made for his enjoyment.  I was not so thrilled with it.  It doesn't taste like the Amish Banana bread I bought a while back, so I will keep trying recipes until I find "the" one.  The recipe is here:  http://lilacthicketcooks.blogspot.com/
I have been bothered by the fact I don't have decorative sugar to sprinkle on my breads and cookies.  After taking the Professor to work this morning, I stopped at Hobby Lobby and had fun looking at all the cake and cookie decorating items.  I found this pearl colored sugar crystals.  I will show you when I make my cookies again.   
I barely stitched yesterday.  It seems I was up and down in the chair but what I did stitch is clearly visible in the above picture if you compare it with last weekend's picture below.  Those few red stitches to the left of the needle are new.  It isn't much but it is something. 
I really don't want to go but I have to pack up a quick lunch of cauliflower in cheese sauce and some toast to take to work.  My sister-in-law made it and left it for me at my Mom's.  We ran over to Mom's house to pick it up and she had a chicken dinner ready for us to eat with her.  That was unexpected and when we did get home I laid down and slept until 9p.m.  The Professor had wanted to go out and practice driving the clutch and I feel pretty bad about missing that.  Maybe tonight we can go out for a bit.

Well gentle readers, I send you lots of love and prayers for a wonderful week.  Enjoy your autumn days as the cold snows of winter will soon be here!  God Bless Us Everyone!

Once again! A wonderful uplifting post. We're getting ready for dinner at this time, but will check out that recipe for banana bread. I have one that I've always used, and if it is quite different than yours, I'll e-mail it to you so you can try it. We've had an interesting last couple of weeks here at home and have posted some of the events on my post this afternoon as well.
