photos of my banana and carrot bread

After the excitement of having to listen to pan flute music for nearly 3 hours yesterday (I am still hearing the music ) when I got home from the library I needed an outlet for all the annoyance that had built up. So, I decided I would bake, I looked around for some ingredients and decided to bake a banana and carrot bread. Here are some photos of how it turned out. I also ended up grooming missy Daisy, but that is a whole other story. It was actually quite a rigmarole. Today the wind is howling outside, ripping at curtains, banging doors and windows, it is trying to bring our spring rain. How has your weekend been? I hope everyone had or is having a relaxing Sunday. Photo is mine

That looks pretty tasty. I would make a nice cuppa and sit down and enjoy a slice of that!

Your banana and carrot bread looks delicious. I wanted to make a banana and walnut bread, I forgot to buy the bananas.

Thank you, Anna ! Banana and walnut bread must be delicious. Walnuts are very expensive here, actually so are almonds, any really healthy nut is very expensive here . Sorry you forgot to buy the bananas. I hope you can make one this week.

@bluesa We have many walnut trees in the area, they are not expensive. Tomorrow I buy the bananas, I have to go to the grocery store.

@LadyDuck you're so lucky that walnuts are not expensive by you. Enjoy your banana and walnut bread when you've baked it. Have a slice for me.

I had planned to make a sponge cake. Never happened! I think the milk is turning into yoghurt right now in the fridge, perhaps with green and orange furry stuff in it.... (I did imply to my daughter that I would like to have one made, but she conveniently pretended to not understand me . She made such a good sponge cake a few months ago. The last time, she did a horrible one!)

@YrNemo , sorry about the milk! Maybe she doesn't want to make a sponge cake again because her last one wasn't a success? Could you get her to bake something else?

Yes, banana AND carrots . The carrot makes it extra moist and you can't really taste it. I am a rebel I tell ya, Janet. Thank you @JaboUK you are one of the people I would have enjoyed sharing a few slices with over a cuppa or two.
