My first Banana Bread!

On a WHIM last Wednesday I thought I would try my hand at banana bread.  It was SO incredibly convenient that I happened to have ALL the ingredients ON HAND!!!!  Even the BOURBON the recipe called for.  I used Knob Creek.  See Little A's little hand trying to snatch away my hard work!?  She gobbled this stuff down like CANDY!

 I snagged the recipe from DEB at Smitten Kitchen.  GOOGLE HER SITE PLEASE, SHE ROCKS.  See below for the recipe (I know, you can't read it...I just wanted to demonstrate how neatly it prints off her site).  Deb, can you come over and organize my kitchen AND my blog PLEASE?!  ;-)

Tiny Pink Pyrex

SO...a few weekends ago my husband took me to one of my favorite thrift malls in Port Orchard and we picked up this SUPER cute teeny TINY pink Pyrex casserole dish.  I've never seen one so tiny so I gladly shelled out the 6 bucks - even without the glass top.

YES.  That is a baby BOEING 787.  

I thought it might be fun to pose my tiny Pyrex dish with a tiny plane...It's all die-cast!  That sucker set me back $12.99 + tax at the Boeing store.  I plan on collecting them ALL.  

I threw in a tiny deer too.  I love those tiny deer.  My husband hates all my deer HAHA.  I haven't added to my deer collection lately so maybe I should do that...  ;-)

See how tiny the Pyrex dish looks with the watch in there?  See, I told you it was little!

What's in Your Dish Rack?

All these posts about FOOD got me to thinking...what's in your dish rack (NO not your purse!)?  I have a Simple Human dish rack from Target, and it stands up well to the pots, pans, pyrex, and cast iron I often have it loaded up with.  

I hate the look of dishes in the sink, so my dishes are always done and drying if I am home.  I like the look of the brightly colored vintage pyrex piled up like this more so than stacked in the sink.  HA!

Yes, that glass next to the blue bowl IS an old pre-plastic POM glass.  I have a whole cupboard of them.  Does anybody else remember these?!  They were awesome and well worth the $3.00 price tag on the POM teas.  Nowadays, they come in plastic bottles and I don't even look at them in the stores so I have no clue what they cost.  My guess is those drinks are still $3.00.

LOL.

What's in YOUR dish rack today?
