soul food

Today it is rainy and cold and two of my children are ill at home with colds.
So I turn to this book to make them better.


First off is Banana bread.
I get the receipe











the butter,














the eggs

















The bananas












and the sugar








the flour in the mixer





and the tin


and put them together to make this.
Cooking is like alchemy.

Tonight we will have chickenoodle soup.
When the weather is like this we have to hunker down and wait till it gets better.

(I love the word hunker. Kathleen Jamie uses it a lot in this book which I like alot).
