Life lesson learned: If your sweetie gives you roses, keep a close watch on the water level in the vase. I think I've just found out that roses suck up water faster than any other flower. In a flash, you have crispy rose mummies. Gah, I'm so bad with living things, even dead living things.

oh, no, not more overripe bananas!!!

So I made banana bread for tonight's party. Two loaves: one with pecans, and the other with chocolate. (Prepared the chocolate one first, so it should be safe for allergic folks.) Trying the recipe in the William Sonoma cookbook this time, it might be too sweet. Added some spices-- cinnamon, etc.-- because I just can't follow a recipe exactly as written.
