Hmmm...I made this bread, and it was pretty good, but I don't really feel like writing a blog post about it. It bores me. It's banana bread, but I threw in some molasses and spices. It's very moist-almost too moist where it's more like cake. So there you go. That's all I have to say about that.
Spicy Molasses Banana Bread would go great with milk. Speaking of milk, my sister participated in her first milk challenge today. I had never heard of "The Milk Challenge" but she explained it to me: it's a competition where you have to drink a gallon of milk under 1 hour, then keep it down an additional hour. She drank 1/2 a gallon of milk in 30 minutes. Whoa, go sis. She had to stop after 1/2 a gallon, because she was feeling sick.
She said it was really gross. You know...what happens after you drink an entire gallon of milk in one hour. I'm sure you can imagine what it would look like with 40 kids getting sick in a backyard. She emailed me a picture, so if you want to see it...email me.
So, nobody officially won the milk challenge today.
I don't know, I think I might be able to do it. I can drink a lot of milk. Sometimes I eat ice cream, cheese, yogurt, and drink a glass of milk at the same time. Could you win the milk challenge?
