SUNBEAM BANANA BREAD

I have a beautiful new black and chrome Sunbeam mixer from the 1950's and it works like a dream, even the motor purrs..... I think very soon I will want to become a master baker.

Ingredients...

1 Banana gone bad
2 Eggs
2 Cups of Flour
1 Cup of Milk
1/4 Cup of Sugar
Teaspoon of Salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place all ingredients into a bowl and turn on the mixer. When it has mixed well, I placed the batter in a very small rectangle tin I found hidden in a kitchen cabinet. The bread cooked for almost 45 minutes and it was wonderful. Hello baking world, I have a new friend named Sunbeam.

BROWN BAGGING IT WHEN TIME STANDS STILL

Last weekend my sister picked me up in the convertible and we drove out into the desert and found ourselves in Clifton, AZ. My dream of living in a David Lynch film had finally come true. Last summer Mr. Lynch launched The Interview Project and if you have an obsession with very small obscure towns then you need to check out this brilliance and for that matter you need to see Clifton. I will write David Lynch and tell him about this town because when I was excitedly telling my sister about how Clifton is a place David lynch would love- we ran into LYNCH ST. An Omen. We visited for 2 days and saw a total of 6 people. The old dilapidated homes is what my sister and I enjoyed the most; especially when snooping around an old boarded up home that had a sign on the door that read: I DON'T CALL THE COPS! -with an image of a gun. I also enjoyed talking to the woman from Silver City, New Mexico who had to move to Clifton so her husband could get a job with his mother at the post office. She ran a florist shop that included tuxedo rentals as well. It is magical in every small mining town way. I packed us a picnic lunch for the occasion.

What We Ate...

Prociutto toasted sandwiches with avocado, white onion, spinach, and creamy Swiss cheese. Penne Salad with sauteed tomato and artichoke hearts in white wine.
