Back to Reality

Sad. I find myself in the same place again, instead of continuing to enjoy a vacation a completely different state. I ate so much chocolate, pie, cheese, wine, and curry with my best friend. It was the best 3 days of my life.

Best friends should not see each other only once a year, it's just inhumane.

While I long for Texas or beaches for the remainder of my break, I bake banana bread and watch No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain. I don't know how this alleviates my pain, but it's helped.

It's helped mostly because, it's delicious! But still not a suitable replacement for best friends...

I've always found comfort in banana bread. It was one of the first things I've mastered and I've made it many different ways. I went crazy with this one and added lemon extract and poppy seeds. It's a little different but still has a very nice banana flavor. 

I will devour this loaf. Come share it with me?
