I've always liked baking and cooking, but these days I've had an even greater appreciation for it. There is a very specific feeling of accomplishment when you make something with your hands, taking a diverse group of random things (powdery white dust, a few sticky yellow and white blobs, a puff of brown powder) and, in an hour or so, ending up with a very tangible, very delicious product that was not there before. Instant gratification (well, nearly).
This time I made banana bread. I used a recipe from Orangette (which was tough because she seems to have an infinite number of banana bread recipes and they all sound dazzling) and added walnuts. It's moist and nutty and perfect.
Even the cat liked it.
