The only problem in making the two loaves of banana bread was my inept baking skills. I made a HUGE mess -- I used zillions of dishes and got flour all over the floor and on myself. I muddled some of the egg yolks with the egg whites (how the heck do you separate them?!), and I got mushed banana on the countertop and walls! It took me an incredible amount of time (about an hour) to prepare this recipe and then almost as long afterwards to wash all the dishes, the floor and walls!

I think I need some baking lessons. I've only baked about four times in my life and the last time was about 10 years ago. Perhaps it's just that I don't have any aptitude for baking (or cooking). I seem to have come from a long line of unmaternal women. In fact, the only person who bakes (and likes to cook) in my immediate family is my father, but, alas, I don't appear to have inherited his genes.

Hee hee - me too! I made the gingerbread muffins on Friday, and ended up with a horrible mess and a really bad attitude. If my husband didn't enjoy cooking, I would revert to my grad school diet of lots of sandwiches and cereal.

But the muffins were good - now to see how to bribe the other human in the house to bake a batch for me....

p.s. See if you can find powdered or packaged egg whites. It's way easier than trying to juggle the yolk from shell half to shell half or using your fingers as a cup for the yolk to let the whites drain into a bowl.
