Visited my daughter in San Juan Capistrano. Shrimp Scampi and salad with ranch. She's turned into a wonderful cook (hard for me to think she's still not a little girl).

Not for dinner, but a good late-night snack or for breakfast...
This is absolutely the best banana bread I've ever eaten, and I've had a lot of it from a number of sources. It has an unusual ingredient that you wouldn't think would work, but is absolutely magical - coffee! It's one of those things where you don't really taste it, it just changes the character of the thing in a good way.
The walnut business is optional. They're a good flavor, but personally I don't appreciate their texture in a bread product. YMMV. Where they appear in the recipe, I've parenthesized their participation. I've made it both ways, and it's great either way.
Best Banana Bread
Time: approx. 15 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour
Ready in: approx. 1 hour 15 minutes
Makes 1 8x4 inch loaf
You will need:
Directions:
Do this in this order! I'm seriously!
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. DO IT NOW!
2. Lightly grease or spray some PAM in an 8"x10" bread loaf pan
3. In a large-ish bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, espresso and vanilla. It'll end up a thick paste, and dark. Do not be alarmed.
4. At this point, add in the bananas, egg (and 1 3/4 cups of the walnuts). Gradually mix in the flour and baking soda until it's just combined. It'll look much like puke. Fortunately, it'll smell a lot better.
5. Pour into properly prepared baking pan. (Sprinkle top with remaining 1/4 cup crushed walnuts, and lightly pat them into the batter)
6. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. USE A TIMER! You did preheat the oven, didn't you?
7. When the timer starts bitching, yank the thing out of the oven and dump it out of the pan and onto a cooling rack right away.
8. Give it a 1/2 hour or so to cool just a bit, and slice some off. Put some butter on it, and eat it.
You're welcome.

It is 5:30 in the morning, gig ended at 4 am, was drinking Dobblebocks all night, got home and opened the fridge to see what was for dinner, Do you really want me to discribe what Leftovers I managed to scape together into a bowl, apply a mass amount of nuke energy to and wash down with a Couple of MGDs? Or can you live without the picture?

I'm both confused and fascinated by this statement. Is it a typo or confession. Also, corn in Norway? Imported?

well, tonight is going be a smorgasbord, I got in after a party last night and fired up the Smoker, Have been stoking it for a while and have it going at 175 stable, so I set in 2 briskets, about to add a few Tritips, When the grocery store opens today I will go and get stuff to make sausage so I can smoke that as long as it is fired up and we plan on bringing it down to around125 degrees and first smoking the 55 pounds of Fish My cousin sent me from Alaska last week, so after that I will get out the meet slicer and finish up with making Jerky, I need to get some Meat for that and they have some london broil on sale.
When ever I fire up the smoker we do a lot of meat and vacuum pack and freeze it, the damn thing takes so much to just get started I cannot justify doing a small portion, Last year I got 400 pounds of barrel staves from a local vineyard that had used for a few years and have used some twice a smoking flavoring, wow what a flavor they add.
I guess that tonight I really will not have Dinner, It will be more of snaking on meat all day as I slice and package it all.
Ah the simple life, I bottle of Vino and Smoke Salmon and Halibut. A mango chutney on the side with smoked almonds and fresh Asparagus.
