10-29 Banana bread

In NC, my friend Megan's mom made a cookbook. This was their favorite recipe, which I trusted since they cooked a lot. It is more like cake, but isn't that what we really want when we are craving this kind of bread?

Cream together:
1/2 c unsalted butter
1 c sugar or brown sugar
Add one at time, beating well between:
2 eggs
Stir in
2 bananas, very ripe and mashed
Sift together then add to banana mix:
1 c minus 2 T flour (cheater cake flour)
3/4 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
Blend well and pour into greased bread pan
Bake at 350 degrees about 30 minutes.

You can add vanilla, nuts or chocolate chips, etc. This recipe is very flexible.
You can truly make it a cake by adding maple, buttercream or coconut frosting.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.
