Bananas in pyjamas

A huge loaf of banana bread is just what you need on Sundays for a lazy breakfast in pyjamas.

Ingredients:

280 gr. brown sugar

600 gr. flour

150 gr. butter at room temperature

2 eggs

4-6 bananas

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

a pinch of salt

Preparation:

Preheat the oven at 170°C. Put the sugar and eggs in a mixer with a whisk and beat until well incorporated. Beat in the bananas you have previously cut in pieces. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and ginger to the sugar mixture and mix until all dry ingredients are well incorporated. Add the soft butter and beat. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the oven for about 1 hour or until firm to touch and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let it cool before eating. Sprinkle with icing sugar and ground hazelnuts and have a delightful breakfast!

Double trouble caldron bubble

Trick or treat? Treats, treats, treats! Lemon curd muffins, apple crumbles, chocolate brownies, cake-pops, and sweet bread. No tricks, only delicious treats this Halloween.

And by the way I want to wish a happy and spooky birthday to my brother, my little monster, and shrieking creature Egon!

Enjoy the sweets and this spell

from Macbeth

of William Shakespeare

In a dark cave. In the middle a caldron boiling. Thunder. Three witches.

Thrice the brinded cat hath mew´d.

Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin´d.

Harpier cries: ´tis time! ´tis time!

Round about the caldron go;

In the poison´d entrails throw.

Toad, that under cold stone,

Days and nights has thirty-one;

Sweletr´d venom sleeping got,

Boil thou first i´ the charmed pot!

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake,

In the caldron coil and bake;

Eye of newt, and toe of frog,

Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,

Adder´s fork, and blind-worm´s sting,

Lizard´s leg, and owlet´s wing,

For a charm of powerful trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

Scale of dragon; tooth of wolf;

Witches´ mummy; maw and gulf

Of the ravin´d salt-sea shark;

Root of hemlock digg´d i the dark;

Liver of blaspheming Jew;

Gall of goat, and slips of yew

Silver´d in the moon´s eclipse;

Nose of Turk, and Tartar´s lips;

Finger of birth-strangled babe

Ditch-deliver´d by a drab,

Make the gruel thick and slab:

Add thereto a tiger´s chaudron,

For the ingredients of our caldron.

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

Cool it with a baboon´s blood,

Then the charm is firm and good.
