Yummm...

I realize I haven't put up any recipes in ages, so here is my latest obsession: Banana Bread.
Our family went on a much needed vacation to Mexico over winter break, and discovered some magical local banana bread at the little grocery store in town. It was universally adored, and inspired me to find a good recipe when I got home. Turns out this is easy... and seriously delicious. This recipe is also forgiving, which is unusual in baking. I found that reducing the sugar to about 3/4 of a cup suited me better, as does using four bananas, and adding chopped walnuts and a scattering of semisweet chocolate chips (Chunky Monkey Bread!!). Very very good stuff.

Speaking of good stuff, the store is really truly stuffed with good stuff right about now. Giant shipments from Prairie Underground, including the famous Cloak Hoodie back in black, have come in. Tender tissue silks and Japanese cotton eyelet dresses have floated in from Erica Tanov, lovely and amazing printed swimsuits are in from the Spanish designers at Siyu, iconic flats and lovely coppery dancing heels are in from Repetto, Cydwoq's cult-worthy sandals are in, and so many many more items that our shelves are overflowing and our racks are bursting. Come in and see!
