Banana life

I don't know what the hell it is about cooking that makes me so damn pleased. It is a project that can be started and finished and then utilized all in one short time span. Thank god for things like cooking in a world where we start projects that seem to never get finished. You would be a damn lier if you said that you didn't have a half done project sitting somewhere within a 12 foot span of you right now that is not finished and may not be for a while. So cooking brings me home and into a place of meditation, purity, and originality. Above are some scrumptious muffs for your delectable pleasure..... here is the recipe... this is one of those recipes that is easy, cheap, fast as hell and will make you new friends. Just to illustrate to you how these happy shit like this makes me.....I leave the kitchen and non chalantly wave to the muffins from across the room, like we are casual acquaintances just loving on each other in a public meeting place without even thinking about it....till about halfway down the hall when I realize what I did was just partially psychotic.

* 3 ripe bananas, mashed with a fork
* 1/4 cup oil
* 1/2 cup honey *** note: use half maple syrup..so good
* 1 & 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
* 1/2 cup wheat germ or oat bran or flaxseed meal
* I add 1 egg....just cause I hate following recipes to the tee . turns out perfect
*lil' vanilla
*lil' allspice and cinnimon

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all dry ingredients first, then mix in bananas, oil and honey. (If you measure out the oil first, when you pour out the honey, it will all slide cleanly out of the cup.)

Pour into oiled bread pan and bake for 20 minutes. This recipe is also great for muffins. Muffins are more like 15 minutes until done. Use a toothpick or knife to check the middle. If it sticks, keep baking.

That is that. In life few things are definite or reliable. But food is all of that and so much more.
