Oooooh, that sounds really good!
In other food related news- I got a crock pot for my birthday! I am SO EXCITED. Favorite crock pot recipes, anyone?

Today I'm trying out my idea for a fruitcake/bread recipe! I'm starting with banana bread, going to sub some of the banana+yogurt for canned pumpkin, and add all the stuff I thought sounded good: dried apple, craisins, dates, crystallized ginger, and pumpkin seeds. May also put chopped pecans and/or a sugar frosting drizzle on the top. I'm still trying to figure out if I need to be using more or less flour & stuff (more to hold up all the additions, or less so it will fit in the pan, or no change?), and what kind of spices to add, if any.
Papersatan:
I'd replace the banana, but lave the yogurt. the sour of the yogurt is acting as the catalyst for the baking soda to leaven the bread.. If you replace banana in a 1 to 1 ratio you shouldn't have to change the flour. You may end up with extra batter, but just fill your pan to its normal height and then put the extra in another little pan to bake.

I just did a bit of an epic cooking session and made four portions of spaghetti bolognese sauce, one leftover portion of risotto after dinner (desperately needed flavour - I hadn't got any cheese, butter, yeast extract or salt, all the things I usually use for flavouring, so I added herbes de provence) and in the oven I've got four portions of "chicken" chausseur which looks rather odd and too onion-y, but we'll see.
My room is still an absolute bombsite, mostly with random kitchen stuff I can't find a home for. Have yet to discover the whereabouts of the lids for my freezer boxes, which is an issue given that I've got all these boxes of food to freeze...

The Quorn chasseur was a disaster. I put it in a Pyrex dish with a plastic lid. Duh. Thankfully one portion was in a separate casserole so I do get to taste it. Hm. More details in my cooking blog, I can't bear to write about it twice! I'm going to the bar ;-)
