Spice Island Banana Bread

When Leigh offered up some fresh dates she got from a customer at the store (thanks!!!) I knew exactly what I’d make. This is the Spice Island Banana Bread from Passionate Vegetarian. The vegan option, of course. I’ve never used fresh dates when making this. They left these moist little date bombs throughout the bread. Even after baking 55 minutes, I was wondering if it still wasn’t quite done. But I couldn’t let the outside brown anymore than it had. I think part of the problem is that I of course hacked into it shortly after it came out of the oven. Hey, I was hungry! The second piece I cut (hey, it’s dinner!) was a little drier so I think it’s fine.

In other news, I’m now pretty well convinced that my super power is getting a crazy amount of shit home in my car. Today I got a kitchen cart, a fold-out sofa bed, mattress, cover, two side tables, an area rug, 2 curtain rods, two bags of miscellaneous stuff, a bag from the liquor store, 2 gallons of paint and another bag of stuff from Lowe’s into my car and/or hanging slightly or even a lot outside of it. The key is to never go anywhere without tie downs.  Fuck, now I guess I have to paint the 2nd bedroom and put together all this shit. I feel really, really tired all of a sudden…

Deep in the night…

When you find out Günther & the Sunshine Girls are playing your town, wait “playing”, how can you not go? And if it wasn’t for Kevin’s obsession with Günther (you can thank me later) I probably would have never found out about the show. Thank you soooo much for that. No really!

So it was pretty much what we expected in terms of performance. Günter moving from catalog pose to catalog pose while blonde chickies danced it up. All lip syncing of course. A little crowd chit chat in between. I think they were a little surprised that the crowd consisted largely of dudes. It was particularly amusing when they asked the crowd if there were any golddiggers out there and a bunch of dudes are shouting “YEAHHHH!!!” Someone else took a video of Pussycat that really captures the sausage fest aspect of the evening:

I got a partial video of the Christmas Song, but it’s not nearly as good since I wasn’t all up in the nest of dudes down front:

I’m sure a ton of videos will show up on the youtubes. There were plenty of people taking them.

Also part of the entertainment for the evening was a couple dry humping before and during the show. What made it even better was that the woman was wearing a spandex dress reminiscent of the best Contempo Casuals had to offer in 1988. It was essentially backless with a band around hold the top up at about bra level then material started again just above the ass crack. Or just below the ass crack which was the case much of the evening for this woman. Fabulous! Here’s a crackless view for you:

Anyway, I didn’t get very good pics, but the rest are here.
