This snowy weekend, as I was cleaning up, we had a lot of overripe bananas. Inspired by Ilva’s Chocolate and Banana Cake and Grace’s Banana Cake, instead of throwing them away, I decided to put the bananas to good use and make my first banana cake. I wanted some nuts in the cake and had a handful of leftover sliced almonds, which I added to the cake mix. Next time, I think I’d like something like walnuts better. However, the end result was a delicious cake. I loved the smell of the baked bananas and the taste of it along with the nuts in the cake.

I made my banana cake just in time to watch It’s a Wonderful Life on T.V. One of my favorite classic movies, I never get tired of watching it and always get teary eyed at many of the scenes. I have many favorite quotes, which include the following:

“No man is a failure who has friends.” — Clarence

“Teacher says, everytime a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.” — Zuzu Bailey

Now, I’m waiting to see all the different versions of A Christmas Carol. I like them all, including the musical version. Thank you very much! Have a good day, everyone!
