nuked bananas!

oh no...i got the overripe bananas situation!  i remembered i still have them, but too late!  they're now brownish and eeeky soft.  still, i dont want to just throw these away.  

banana cake sounds good, but i don't have an oven. got to think half-full...  what is my alternative?   could it be....my trustworthy microwave?

<googling....>

aha!  here's one interesting recipe that just might be the solution.
thanks to Avery at Avery Cooks for this recipe (refer to link below).  

<cooking...>
i tweaked a bit coz i wasn't sure of the banana size...  & i didn't have cinnamon on hand, as well as non-stick oil spray..  Didn't put Peanut butter toppings too.  And I nuked for an additional 30secs.
                     
     Microwaved Banana Oats Cakes

     1 banana, mashed
     6 tbsp quick-cook oatmeals
     2 tbsp brown sugar
     makes 2 servings.

     - mix banana, oatmeal & sugar.
     - spread 1 serving into parchment-paper-lined microwaveable container
     - nuke on high for 2minutes
     - let cool for a minute and indulge!

i paired mine w/ coffee, the kids' paired w/ a glass of OJ.



aroma in the kitchen was so heavenly while 'cookin'!   best of all, my kids loved em in today's PM snacktime!

my lessons learned: 
  1. nuke too long, cakes get dry.  more vitamins lost too, i suppose.
  2. add too much oatmeal, cake too dry.

enjoy! ^_^

how i met Nancy Drew

It was my sister who introduced me to Nancy Drew and her posse, Bess and George. Back in 4th grade, from a book she brought home from the school library.  Erm, at least that's how I remember it. One Nancy Drew thing stands out in my memory though. The title "The Secret of the Old Clock".  I vividly remember how the book looked, hard-bound, yellow spine, thick pages. The picture in the front cover showed Nancy, alone, crouched on the grass in the quiet woods at night, opening that old clock and looking so, well, so secretive about it!  I recall how i felt then, seeing that picture, there is a thrill, like you were on the verge of discovery of a very precious secret!   Thus, i got hooked in a much enjoyable way.  I had graduated from fairy tales, fables and legends and had moved into mystery. It was one mystery solved after another! A different kind of adventure! How about you?  Were you, or are you an avid Nancy Drew fan? What was your 1st mys...
