| Banana Walnut Muffins |
It was sunny and warm on Thursday. I spent a relaxed morning, replying to blog comments, catching up on a couple of blogs, scheduling an appointment for my next lab tests, and doing a little daily cleaning!
The pharmacy notified me that one of my medications was ready for pick up, so, in the afternoon, I drove to the pharmacy to pick it up. I also needed to get a tube of cortisone cream as my current tube was almost over. So now, my bathroom cabinet looks even more like an aisle in a pharmacy! LOL.
I spent the evening reading one of the new library books. It's fiction and I'm about halfway through the book. So far, it has been interesting.
I baked some banana muffins, last night, to use up the two ripe bananas that were sitting in the fruit bowl. As you can see, they got a bit too browned, but, they weren't burnt. I had some of them for my brunch on Thursday; dinner was leftover coconut roti and mackerel curry.
On Thursday, I was grateful for:
- The availability of medications
- Two really nice people I chatted with while waiting in line at the pharmacy
- Friendly pharmacy workers
- A safe drive to the pharmacy and back
- Being able to make appointments online
Thursday's joyful activity was spending the evening reading!
Plans for Friday include a little more kitchen cleaning, reading, and tending to the garden with M.
How was your Thursday? What are your plans for Friday?
Your banana muffins look nice, a good way to use up ripe bananas.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen; the muffins turned out well (if a little over browned) and they make a convenient brunch! :)
DeleteNothing like a good book! I've just started a new one. I wasn't thrilled with the last one and didn't finish it, but the new one seem promising.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's nice to have a good book to read, isn't it? :)
DeleteI'll take slightly brown homemade muffins over store bought ones, any day!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bushlady. At least, we know what goes into the homemade muffins! The only store bought ones I really like are the raisin bran muffins. But, at $7.00 for 4 of them, I generally don't buy them!
DeleteThe muffins look good! I love banana anything! Muffins, cream pie...:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Celie. I'm not particularly fond of banana desserts, mostly because I don't like ripe bananas. But, my banana muffins are OK, partly because I don't use very ripe bananas and I don't use quite as many bananas as the recipe calls for - 2 bananas rather than 3.
DeleteThose muffins look delicious! I used to make them regularly but I've got out of the habit seeing as Lily doesn't like them. I might just bake some this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jules. The people I've shared them with have all liked them. I don't like the taste of very ripe bananas, so I use bananas that aren't too ripe and I use 2 of them, when the recipe calls for 3.
DeleteThe muffins look tasty. Do you freeze some of them?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon. I didn't freeze any, this time. I shared some with my gardener M, some with a neighbor, and have been having the rest for my brunches. :)
DeleteThat's always a good thing to do with over-ripe bananas - I bet they were good.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that you ran across friendly people to chat with. :)
The banana muffins got a little over baked, but, they are good. It was lovely to have friendly people to chat with while waiting in line. :)
