Time Change, Banana Bread and Chicken Soup


Spent an hour turning back clocks, stoves, coffee pots, Ipads, computers and Iphones that had already automatically reset. Stoves and coffee pots and alarm clocks are all a lot smarter than they used to be, but apparently I'm not.

Caught on when the sun rose today at 5:41 and it was at 7:41 yesterday. Spent another hour correcting the original time screw up then made banana bread and chicken soup.

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
