Banana Bread Fiasco
So Mrs. Limey had a bad day with Lucy deciding she doesn't need to nap anymore. So she's not in the best of moods, having spent the day trying to appease the screaming machine.
When I came home Carrie was cooking and Lucy was screaming up in her crib. The former had given up trying to get the latter to sleep and thought she'd just let her wail for a bit. Sweaty me comes home with bits and pieces and a little shopping and I'm asked to try to calm the little one.
Anyway, despite the nightmare....I mean daymare she's been having, Carrie decides to make some banana bread and, at one point has me take over so she can try and feed out little girl. The mix is in the big mixer and I'm told to switch it on....which I do, so the stirry whirly thing is going round and round and muggins here, trys to put flour right in there without stopping it first....
...the plastic measuring cup pops out and is cracked and the is some plastic missing. So I spend the next half hour or so feeling around in the mixture for bits of plastic and even resorting to a strainer. I gave up after having picked out 5 or 6 tiny pieces of plastic and still not having the necessary parts to complete the cup....I felt like an archaeologist putting together shards of pottery.
Anyway, to cut a medium story fairly short but not short enough for some people, we decided to dump the mixture.....
Guess where I'll be sleeping tonight??

Thanks for the thought though.
Goodnight.
Sorry about the banana bread fiasco but there is always another day and another banana getting ripe for the process. :)
