Tonight, I listened to this Townes album, which is the only record I've been spinning lately.... and baked banana bread, using a recipe my aunt Diane read to me over the phone.
Late January Banana Bread
1/4 cup butter
2/3 cup honey (I used some Agave syrup too... I was short on honey)
3 eggs, beaten
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups flour (I used 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup rice flour & 1/2 cup almond meal... I tend to be a little random & experimental in my baking)
1 cup chopped walnuts (I used some walnuts & dry roasted almonds too..)
I also threw in some grain sweetened chocolate chips....
Mix together the butter, honey, eggs, bananas, milk & vanilla in a bowl -
In a different bowl, mix together the flour & other dry ingredients -
Add dry to wet.
Butter & Flour a loaf pan. Or grease it, you know... what ever you do. I smear butter on mine.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Put the mixture in the little loaf pan & bake for about an hour...
Let cool (or burn yourself trying to get in on it too soon, like I did)
Enjoy! It's good!

I've been craving some banana bread for a while now. Maybe, if I can get myself to stop being such a recluse and go to the store, I'll make some.
Brilliant! I've been looking for a banana bread recipe without cane sugar. Thanks for sharing this!
Dear Alela,
I've been listening to your songs and they so remind me of my own world of feelings and impressions, accompanying me ever since I was a child. Thanks for that!

Complete non-sequitir. I was at a CVS (local drug store chain) here in Providence, RI and your song "To Be Still" came on.
Beautiful, beautiful song. I was hoping the cashier would shut up long enough for me to tease out some lyrics to Google when I got home. And I could've sworn that the woman behind me was singing along. After I checked out, I asked her if she knew who that was in the music playing over-head.
Of course, she looked at me like I had lost my mind. I said, "Hey, I thought you were singing along..."
Luckily, I was able to hear the lyrics, "And I won't drag my feet in whatever dirt you track in..."
I have a new favorite track now. Thank you so much.
tried to make your banana bread today and it turned out to be a really nice baking treat. thank you for sharing x
I'm going to try this tomorrow, it sounds tasty:o)
for the sake of the song... so marvellous!
it was so delicious! I have made it already some times and gave to friends. When I did not have butter, it worked well with sunfloweroil as well. Thank you for sharing this receipt! How nice to bake a cake from my favorite singer's receipt...
