Happy Saturday Everyone!
I am very late getting here today. The morning started off pretty routine but then my best friend called and we had a 2 hour marathon phone call. We haven't spoken in awhile so we had lots to catch up on. Would you believe we probably could have talked longer if one of us didn't have to hang up. Gosh I miss her.
We both moved to be closer to our grandchildren so the time we spend together isn't as frequent as we'd like. So, to make the best of it we do these marathon phone calls occasionally. Of course we keep in touch through texting and Facebook but it just isn't the same as an actual conversation.
So, after we hung up I was feeling a bit melancholy. My daughter went to a friends barbecue so it's just me and the pups.
I noticed the bananas were getting over ripe so I decided to make banana bread. Haven't made it in awhile but it will make the house smell really good and of course use up those bananas so I don't have to throw them out.
Hopefully the banana bread will help cheer me up and I'll get over this melancholy feeling.
Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday. Is the weather nice where you are?
It's a perfect summer day here.

Banana cake is even better than muffins or bread

@Marilynda1225 I agree. It has been a long time I have not bake a loaf of banana bread.

Sounds good to me, I was thinking of looking for a recipe for blueberry banana muffins, as I have a few blueberries, but maybe not enough to make muffins.

Blueberry and banana go well together so I'm sure you could make some really good muffins

I have heard of banana bread, but I donĀ“t know how to do it. I wish I knew as I have to throw away too ripe bananas.

A perfect recipe for overripe bananas. Banana vanilla wafer pudding is also good if you have a banana surplus

I'm drooling now for banana bread. I hope it took the melancholy away.
It's always good to catch-up with friends you don't see very often.
