When life gives you ugly bananas......make banana bread!

So I read the introduction and the recommended equipment list today. Plan to start baking on Monday; first item is Basic French Sponge Cake or Genoise. Why is it that when you begin new projects like this you find that you are missing the expensive pieces of equipment, thinks like copper bowls, food processors, stand mixers. Over the weekend I am going to procure what I need to get started, so if anyone happens to have spare of any if these items that you are willing to part with at bargain prices let me know.

Today since I had a couple of rotten bananas I made Banana bread, using the Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book with the following modifications:  1/3 cup honey
3 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 ripe bananas mashed
                                                 1 juice from half a lemon
                                                       2 cups whole wheat flour
                                                       2 teaspoons baking powder
                                                       1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 1.5 quart loaf pan.
Whisk together honey, oil, vanilla & salt in large bowl. Add banana & lemon juice. In separate bowl sift together flour, baking powder & baking soda. Stir dry ingredients into wet. Pour into prepared pan and bake 45 minutes to an hour until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
