I did it!

I safely made banana bread! No knife accidents, or any other kind of accident for that matter, involved.

I did hesitate a little before preheating the oven and committing to the deed, because this Saturday feels strangely similar to the Saturday last summer when Matt was gone backpacking. A cloudless sky, perfect temps, an open day spread out before me with hardly any responsibilities, excitement for Matt's approaching return, and satisfied feeling of accomplishment for making it through the whole 8 days without him.

So why tempt fate? Because this banana bread with cinnamon crumble topping is just SO good.
