Adventures (and misadventures) in the kitchen from a novice baker.

The few times I've baked using a recipe directly from my computer, I was afraid I would get food on it, even though I'm pretty tidy. Anyway, great idea! Also, whoa...I've never baked with bananas that far gone (your Leap Day post)! Are the insides that brown too, and do they make the bread extra banana flavored?

I use my computer for recipes all the time, the music stand is new. I’m surprised my keyboard isn’t totally clogged with flour by now, but it’s been working out fine so far. 

About the bananas… they’re not that brown on the inside, but they do totally look gross, I’ve called it banana poo before (seen here), but they’re definitely okay to use. I don’t know how much the taste changes, I’ve always been a fan of a little-over-ripe bananas, anyway, but whenever I’ve baked using the frozen bananas, nobody complains. Sometimes you can find well lived bananas in the reduced section at your supermarket, but also some women at work give me their old bananas (sometimes hoping to eat them once they find their way into the oven). It’s a great way not to waste!!
