Banana Chocolate Chip muffins

[sila-lumenn.livejournal.com]

Remember my disaster muffins from this weekend? Well, I found a new recipe and decided to give it a try. I had some bananas that were going to go to waste if I didn't do something with them and this was perfect. They were so yummy! Oh, I didn't have any nuts, so I left them out. I'll put them in next time, but the recipe didn't suffer at all from the omission.

BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS
1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2)
2 eggs
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

In a medium bowl, beat together banana, eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Stir in banana mixture until just blended. Spoon into muffin tins sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake at 350F 25-30 minutes, or until done. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack. Makes approximately 18 muffins.

Thinking about the Gaffer's taters the other night, so I made up some Raw Fries.

You'll need
A frying pan (skillet) with a good lid
Vegetable oil
Potatoes
Onion
Seasoned Salt or whatever pleases you
a little water

Put enough oil in your frying pan to just cover the bottom and heat about medium
Dice up some onion and start it in the oil
Wash the potatoes and then slice or shred them. One big potato can fill a skillet or a couple of small ones. By now the onion should be beginning to be transparent.
Add the potatoes to the oil carefully.
Let the potatoes brown a bit, flipping occasionally to spread the brownness. Now's a good time to add the seasoned salt.
When you've got some brown on the taters, put a little water in the lid of the frying pan and then turn it into the pan and cover it tightly so the potatoes will steam themselves cooked. Check in about five to eight minutes, and if the taters are done, serve with ketchup.
