creativeanchorage asked: Hello! I love your music stand for cookbooks/your laptop! 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!!

A bunch of sentence fragments and pictures from bakefest with Mich & Jo

I decided to make a chocolate peanut butter banana cookie I had made before, (sans walnuts) + chocolate chips (SIDENOTE: I realized the recipe is vegan.. well, before the chocolate chips, which is pretty cool) and Michelle decided upon an oatmeal maple cookie. Both recipes were on the computer and while we mostly made one batch at a time, there were a lot of ingredients out and confusion could have happened, but didn’t. I like to bake the way I like to bake and be in control of things, but Michelle and I worked well together. At least I think so.

It’s a wonder my computer isn’t totally clogged with flour.

While it may look like I’m impersonating a dinosaur here, I’m actually just looking at the recipe and my hand is just doing it’s own thing.

I keep overripe bananas in the freezer so they don’t go to waste and are quite handy for baking. Yesterday I actually purchased some really cheep bananas from Harvest Co-Op because they were overripe. Straight to the freezer! but what a deal.

Michelle actually tried pealing the bananas, I usually just break open the top and squeeze it out, like banana poo. Yeah, I just went there.

Oo! I got a new ice cream scoop. It has a black handle and is smaller then my yellow one. We used it to scoop the cookie dough which made perfectly round cookies. Quite large, but now I get how bakeries make so many big round cookies that are all the same size
