[Sundae]

Mum had a rough day yesterday.
She has decided to give up her volunteer work because of it.
I'm not good at consoling her, so although I have done what I can verbally I thought a cake would mean more.

It worked out SO well.
I suggested she went to the market and asked for over-ripe bananas, half expecting that she'd just get them from Tesco and I'd have to wait for them to ripen.
Nope. She did exactly as I asked.
Chap on the market stall took her round the back (oo-er) and gave her six over-ripe ones for free. I've had the chutzpah to ask for this sort of thing for about 15 years, this was Mum's first experience as far as I know.
She came home glowing (although I bet she gave him some money anyway - I know my Mum.)

SO. More 'nanas than I expected, so two loaves.
One loaf of Wolf's Chocolate Banana Bread.
One of Mum's (from her big blue cookery book which was a wedding present back in the '60s.)

I will take photos.
I would also send samples, but I'm in the desert between benefits and salary.
As opposed to the desserts.

Because it was a monster bake I'm probably going to freeze 1/2 - 2/3 of each loaf anyway. Just need to check with Mum. She loves to offer home-made cake to visitors, and in fact loves it more if I've made it. Partly because it's less bother, but also partly because she can big it up without seeming arrogant. But if she has no-one scheduled this week I know she'd rather save it for when people are definitely coming.

Again, feedback when I get it.
'nanas not my bag.
