banana bread for K

  • 2 C flour
  • 1 C sugar
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 stick (8 Tbsp.) butter, softened
  • Chocolate chips to taste (1/2 to 1/3 bag, usually)
  1. Mix ingredients together in a large bowl. Growing up i used a mixer, but in the past 8 years, elbow grease has worked fine. Just make sure the bananas and butter are pulverized, and that there are no pockets of flour lurking in the batter.
  2. Grease a standard size loaf pan.
  3. Bake for 1 hour 10 min at 350°F or until toothpick comes out almost dry.

please note: this is from memory, but i’ve made it enough times, and the recipe is simple enough — what could i possibly have gotten incorrectly?

what bruce schneier will say

can’t help thinking this, as i watch the 35W-collapse news coverage -

it’s more important that we invest in infrastructure and emergency response than in strategies to counter terrorism; disasters can occur for many reasons, natural and otherwise.

also, it’s impressive how quickly cell phone networks can be brought to their knees while the internet keeps humming along nicely. would be nice if this worked its way into the discussion about the 700mhz spectrum that the FCC is having.

also, also, i think i rode underneath 35W for the last time this morning. don’t usually travel that route, but did so on a whim. glad we didn’t take it on the ride home. i expect it will take months to repair.
