banana blackberry cacao bread recipe + things.

hi!
here i am.
i'll be better about posting regularly...cross my ♥ and hope i'm not full of shit.

over the weekend i picked up a carton of the most delicious blackberries at the farmer's market but a few had gotten overripe.  so did a couple of bananas.  and i love bulk cacao.  hence:

i want to eat your insides.

crunchy outside!

i just made it up as i went, but if you'd like to give it a shot (i recommend a pinch or two of spice) here's the recipe:

banana blackberry cacao bread
2 c AP flour
3/4 c brown sugar
6 T unsalted butter
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
3 T liquid egg white (or sub 2 eggs)
2 ripe bananas
3/4 - 1 c blackberries
1/2 - 3/4 c cacao chips
preheat oven to 350. mix dry ingredients. mix wet ingredients. blend wet into dry. fold in blackberries and cacao chips. bake for approximately 30 minutes.
[bear in mind i used a silicone mold, which bakes considerably quicker and can be more finicky. use your eyes and toothpicks and happy baking:)]

more recipes to come if this is well received, i like cooking with healthy, organic ingredients all ze time.

since i'm apparently on par to update things monthly *sigh* here's yet another photo recap.

a few weeks ago i went mushroom foraging with friends...but it was unseasonably warm and dry at the time so we didn't find too much but we did manage:

an oyster mushroom:-D

 an endangered banana slug

to heed emphatic advice.

i also did a making strides against breast cancer walk for good measure:

lovely ladies.

aaand saw the seahawks kick some patriot ass from closer seats than i'll ever be able to afford:

completely worth the sniffles.

i also went paintball zombie hunting.  saw beach house play an amazering set.   helped organize a national coming out day at work.   saw the ramayana exhibition at the seattle asian art museum.  wrote a grant and got awarded monies (yayy!).  and...i can't remember de odder stuff.
