SmugMug and My Pictures
by John on Nov.27, 2009, under Life
I’ve been looking for a photo hosting site for a long time. A friend referred me to SmugMug…so I’m testing it out. Notice the thumbnail pic’s in the upper right hand corner of this blog. If you click on one of the thumbnails it will take you to my photo galleries. This is totally in the test phase…so please tell me what you think.

Have you ever eaten dry Banana Bread – arrrgh…BB should be moist – like a banana – right?
Check out this recipe for Moist Banana Bread. Chris and I fired up two loaves this morning.
2 cups of flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
Cream the following in a separate bowl:
1 stick of softened butter
1.5 cups of sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1.5 tsp of vanilla
2 eggs
4 tbs of sour cream
In separate bowl mash 4 ripe (soft) bananas
Mix all ingredients together – pour into a greased bread pan or bundt pan.
Bake at 350 for approx. 1 hour or until middle is done. If top gets too brown place foil lightly on top of loaf.
Tell me what you think! Send me some revisions or additions – IE. Walnuts, Chocolate chips, Cinnamon
Autumn Flight

There’s something special about taking a walk in nature during the fall season. My wife and I caught this image of Canadian Geese flying over a golden field in North West Illinois. I don’t think fall would be the same without the regular flight and “honking” of Geese overhead. Can you hear them?
