Hi everyone! Anne, the addition of the nutmeg to the banana bread is just plain culinary genius! I made some and took one to my quilt camp and sent one to Paul's mother -- I got many, many compliments. I love the addition of the nutmeg.

I am still finishing the quilt I started at quilt camp. I will post a picture when I get it all pieced. Hope everyone is healthy and ready for spring. Grilling out? In Lincoln? In February? No way!! Nice break for you Nebraskans.

The Cornhusker baseball team is playing UL-Lafayette (the Rajun Cajuns) on Feb 20th and we will be there for Mardi Gras (as will my friend Moe from Omaha). We will be going to the game, in our red shirts to cheer for the Huskers.

Take care, love to all,
Jeanie

  1. I will definately try that nutmeg in the banana bread, sounds like a stroke of culinary genius.

    A note to add about Calico beans. I made a batch last weekend. Seems they no longer sell the 21 oz can of pork and beans, so I got what they had - a 31 oz can. As you all recall the recipe calls for a 21 oz can of rinsed pork and beans. I figured what the heck and used the whole 31 oz can.

    My calico beans were not the quality they should have been, they were a little dry. So just as a word of caution, if you want the perfect calico beans.. skim off about a third of the 31 oz can, unless of course you are able to somehow get the 21 oz can.

    Go Huskers in LA!!
