Banana Fana Wha ?
January 4, 2012
OK…I did NO baking over the holidays so there was no excuse not to whip something simple up from a surplus of ripe bananas. Luckily I found this recipe card from Starbucks to help. Easy enough to accomplish with hand utensils ( my favorite being this olive wood paddle/spoon/? from Williams-Sonoma)…no power needed in prep. And 45-60 minutes later your have this beauty! Simple enough. Quiet enough.
A quick note: I in no way had the two tablespoons of buttermilk…but, half and half with a splash of cider vinegar stood in nicely. Again, simple.
What a steal…

It’s amazing what $1.99 will get you when you check out the ” manager’s special” buckets in the floral dept. at Kroger. Run them home and pull out one of the cylinder vases that is a simplequietmodern must have. Strip off the foliage and gather the heads into a tight domed arrangement and tie the bundle together with some jute twine ( or even black electrical tape in a pinch). Cut the stems so the mound sets gently on the rim of the cylinder and you are done and done. All this style for a whopping two bucks.

Simple …quiet…modern. That’s what I like. Whether it’s architecture and design, fashion or food, you can never go wrong with a choice that is simple..quiet…modern.
A gift recieved this Christmas illustrates this point perfectly. A box. An egg. Bronze. Matte exterior. Polished interior. Simple. Elegant. Useful. Beautiful. Classic.
