I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

{{{{Sean & S}}}} I'm so sorry, sweetie.

I skipped over 800 messages, so ~ma to them that needs it. I'm back at work, and ready to go home again and sleep.

The status is NOT quo.

Dammit! Sean, I'm so sorry. What can I do? We don't leave until this afternoon, so let me know. Love you.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I have two quick baking questions:

1. If I added some cocoa powder to boxed mix for banana bread, would it mess up he way it bakes too much? I have a recipe for a chocolate banana bread here, but I don't really have the time or the energy to make something from scratch today.

2. If I use mini loaf pans instead of a regular size loaf pan, should I lower the cooking temperature? And approximately how much quicker should I expect them to bake?

I guess that is three question.

Also, more {{{{{Sean}}}}}} just because it sounds like you really need them right now.

Sean, I'm sorry too.

And now, with a link: Zahar: Hamas ready to renew Gaza truce based on previous conditions.

It is wonderful, though, if being honest, doesn't help the Strip in the long term. When it's "quiet" (read: 3 deaths per week, ~10 rockets per week), people tend to forget about it

Shir, hate to agree with Hamas about anything, but lifting or weakening the siege would be a good start. It is quite true that Israel denies Gazans food, milk, medicine, seed or fertilizer for agriculture. You (meaning Israel, not Shir) shoot fishers who try to take their boats out to fish. A further step would be to actually talk to Hamas. Talking is not some sort of reward you withold until your enemies move. It is a way to maybe find common ground, starting without it. And if talks don't work, it is not like Israel stops being the biggest military power on your continent, nor stops being the closest ally the biggest military power in the world has.

Art Crawl!!!

sj - I think usually you add cocoa powder as a sub for some flour. So, it might mess it up . . . but you might be able to rectify it by adding more liquid.

I usually add some ripe bananas to the mix, they add moisture, don't they?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You shoot fishers who try to take their boats out to fish.

I'm pretty certain that Shir isn't doing the shooting, so maybe this could be phrased differently.

I know I don't want to be made synonymous with my country's military actions.

“Not dead yet!”

They do.

Also, don't lower the temperature. Just lessen the cooking time.

How mini are the pans? If they're say comparable to muffins, then find a muffin recipe and cook them about that length of time.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

With the added bananas, I think you'll be fine adding cocoa.

Don't change the oven temperature, but change the cooking time to something approximating muffins -- if a loaf pan takes 45-50 minutes, I'd test after 20.
