How can you $%^& up banana bread? I see the egg is on the counter. Toby, you didn't put in an egg! You also need ripe, mush, black peel bananas. You can't incorporate banana chips.....or could you?
Okay, so if KM thinks banana bread qualifies as a dessert, and that muffins make good appetizers, I’d love to know what she serves for an entrée at a dinner party. Cheese Danish with chocolate donut holes as a side?
I'm with Rob C: How do you mess up something as simple as banana bread? Did she buy the Three Stooges cookbook and that's why it makes no sense? Either that or she shouldn't be drinking before baking.
I have never in my life seen such a mess from baking. I'm starting to feel sorry for Chinbeard. But this is what happens when you marry a trophy wife.
I'm waiting to see Madi's eye roll again when she see's Toby's blatant stupidity.
Does anyone else suspect that KM may be setting us up for Madi's adoption by the Camerons? It's pretty obvious her awful dad is not coming back for her, and with Madi now being well adjusted thanks to Greta and Mary, she could probably handle becoming a part of a notoriously dysfunctional but well-meaning family like the Camerons'.
I'm intrigued by the two bowls apparently containing the same batter-substance. I suppose it's possible that Toby didn't have a large enough mixing bowl for the quantity of - dessert? - she was planning to make. But I rather like the idea that Toby started a batch of batter, got to the point where the recipe "didn't make sense", and then set aside her muddled first attempt; and just got out another bowl and spoon, a fresh lot of ingredients, and started again at the beginning. Toby seems quite dim enough for this to be plausible. For all we know there may be a dozen other bowls of identical abortive batter attempts sitting all around the Camerons' kitchen. Only now does Toby think of calling her lifeline Mary (she presumably didn't read the recipe to determine whether it made sense before beginning to make it). Perhaps she can use all the crusty dried-up inedible batter to make some kind of conceptual sculpture.
Oh and who the heck serves banana bread as a _dessert_?
Toby floating head looks over pole in a strip club. Young blonde is swinging on the pole, performing for group of fat, middle-aged beer-guzzling degenerates.
"I remember the first time I made banana bread ... I was a young entertainer, performing for a man named Ian and his teacher friends ... "
You all are a snarkety stitch! And Madi looks as if she's on drugs. Perhaps Mary sedated her with whatever she fed her for lunch, or maybe the Charterstone pool is full of liquified lithium...
Toby, Toby, Toby: First rule of cooking (and sewing, and almost any assembly project) is to read through all the directions first. You can do a lot of prep ahead of time. And banana bread is really not that hard. In fact, there are no instructions for cracking an egg on the counter in any banana bread recipe out there. But perhaps you are looking at the wrong recipe. Try this one: "Go buy banana bread at the store."
Y'all started with a bang with the BFH, and just kept going. Great comments, everyone. I think my favorite, just for the visual it conjures up, is Little Nell's, "For all we know there may be a dozen other bowls of identical abortive batter attempts sitting all around the Camerons' kitchen."
How many weeks, or months, ago was it that Toby first told Mary she had to come up with a dessert for the Charterstone meeting? I love that she started planning that early to come up with a dessert, and came up with. . .banana bread! Way to think outside the box!And as others have pointed out, thinking inside the box would definitely have been a better idea. I'm a messy cook, but my kitchen looks like Martha Stewart's compared to the destruction that Toby has wrought on her kitchen.
Interesting theory that we're getting set up for a Cameron adoption of Madi. I'm sure Saul would be pleased with that arrangement.

"Madi And Her Gram Made Colourful Banana Bread All The Time".
Help!
Wrong?
Banana bread, doesn't!
Soon. Friend?

“For one thing, this dumb recipe doesn’t say when and how to add the peels! #%€*!”

And when do you add the bread?

Tomorrow's strip:

It only gets better from there!

Toby's incredible inedible banana breadible!

As Harry Belafonte would sing here, "A beautiful bunch of ripe banana, Hide the deadly black tarantula!" Sigh, we can only hope. Day-O!
