Mary: For a start, Toby, you should shell the walnuts...” Toby: What does that mean? Mary: you take the meat out of the shells. Toby: Meat? Mary: And how much sugar did you use? You can’t get all the sweetness from the bananas and raisins. Toby: What raisins? Mary: These dark, shrivelly bits... Toby: Oh, those were already in the flour, it’s been in the canister for a while. Madi: Blearghhhh...
I agree with KitKat, fauxprof. You nailed it! However, I believe I feel the same as you when it comes to raisins... I detest them. I think I might prefer eating dark, shrivelly bits. And besides, why would anyone take a perfectly lovely grape and shrivel into a raisin when it could have been turned into even a mediocre wine? Hic...
And good news !... There are still two full bowls of batter!
Peeled bananas do not naturally stand like that. They have to be placed. This is really Toby's new "performance art" project and Fauxprof's play is part of it.
JM missed a good chance here. If Toby isn't a baker, why didn't JM have her try something more challenging to bake like a chocolate torte? Then, when Toby messed up, Mary could not only save the day and make the chocolate torte and grab all the credit at the Charterstone meeting, but also could smugly lecture Toby on how, since she isn't a baker, she should have started with something easy, like banana bread. A win-win for Mary.
No introductions whatsoever. Mary said she was bringing "someone," so, just hand someone, whoever she is, some whatever bread and implore them not to hate you.
SUNDAY: Mary's expression in P5 is one of June's best efforts, but why has Madi's plate shrunk to the size of a DVD? What's in that banana bread anyway? Maybe Wilbur should try a piece.
SUNDAY Mary and Madi have entered Toby’s Kitchen from Hell, and Mary asks where Toby got the RECIPE for the banana bread?! That’s like asking people on the sinking Titanic what they had for breakfast.
SUNDAY: I’m fairly certain that every kid who has encountered Play-Doh has tasted it, and since Madi is a kid who tends to say the quiet parts out loud, I think we can accept her critical judgment as valid.
Well, Wanders, you got me wondering. So, I googled 'ways to ruin banana bread' and number one on the list was under baking it. I wonder if it makes it taste like Play Doh.
MONDAY A secret ingredient for banana bread that Gram only shared with Madi? Remarkable - what were the chances? Unless Gram had a secret ingredient for everything - baked Alaska, madeleines, jelly roll, Texas sheet cake, muffins....
Unless the secret ingredient is competence in the kitchen and a cleanup crew that materializes instantly, it won’t help Toby.
Madi: What is it about "secret" that you don't understand, Blondie? Actually, this is a pretty nice crib you got here. I suppose for the right price.....

Ewww.. that banana bread looks like Toby baked some flies into it.
Hmm, shrapnel must be the surprise ingredient in this “banana bread.” Toby, it might be better to say, “Don’t SUE me if you don’t like it!”
Uh-oh, Mary's carefully planned practical joke unexpectedly backfires on her, as she is enlisted as guinea pig No. 1.
I'm interested in seeing how she manages to keep her dignity while bent over retching.

The rotting skin of that old banana makes me wonder — where’s Ian?

fauxprof, that is the funniest thing I’ve read all week. “I’m NOT a baker! Or an entomologist....”

Fauxprof, you had me literally laughing out loud!

Wanders, I'm lost on the Tolkien reference and how it applied to banana bread.
Fascinating how there are big drips on the outside of the bowls but not on the inside. I cast my vote for performance art, too.

ONLINE???? Do I hear Terry Bryson running down the hall to the rescue?

"I got the recipe online. It cost only fifty dollars."
Madi's plate is shrinking in horror at the prospect of being touched by Toby's glop.

MONDAY:
Madi: Gram... used a secret ingredient that she only shared with me."
Tody: What was it? I need to know!
Madi: Cannabis
"share with me" jokes ensue

I don't understand how a grown woman can be too dumb to make banana bread.
Madi should have some fun with this. I think Toby would put anything in there.
everybody said this, like they dont know but the result are so pretty good! LOL
