After 1 miserable attempt at making banana bread, I almost gave up. My 1st attempt was so bad it was flat and hard and my heart sank with it. But I keep telling myself, "hey, everybody experiences failure at least once especially in the baking section". And so I got more flour and banana and gave it another shot.
Im gonna let you enjoy the picture and will come back for the recipe tomorrow when I have a better internet connection ok?

After checking out Rasa Malaysia and Retno of Dapur Hamburg, I changed the recipe that I used the 1st time (tht gave me the disaster) and am very happy with the result. Here is the recipe.

Awa, jangan jealous! :P
I think this time ur banana bread look great :). I do enjoy the pictures,,he,,he
I noticed that you asked Rita how Elena and I enjoyed the Indonesian food at Julia's.
The short answer is "a lot", although it was I who did the eating, since Elena did not for reasons that had nothing to do with the taste or quality of the food.
I opted for my lunchtime favorite in Malaysia, nasi goreng, and although it was not on the menu, the kitchen was accomodating enough to prepare it for me. I also had some beef rendang. Good too.
Seems like it's the usual hot summer with brush fires in Southern California.
Congratulations Farina, that is one fine looking banana bread. We just love banana bread. Its easy to make and delicious :)
Farina, Great, my favorite cake and always enjoy it with black coffee.
Have a nice day.
