Baking

I officially accomplished homemade, chocolate chip, gluten-free, vegan banana bread :) I saw a few dead bananas and instantly thought of my childhood. Only this time I followed a new recipe which you can find here. Although I changed it up just a little bit so I will post below. 

Ingredients:

(I changed the the flour to the flours I usually cook with when I bake something)

1 cup garbanzo flour

1 cup of sweet sorghum flour

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 2 teaspoons baking soda

• 1 teaspoon xantham gum

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/2 cup olive oil

• 2/3 cup agave nectar (I also used a Tbs of coconut oil)

• 2/3 cup rice milk

• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• 1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 3)

• 2 cups chocolate chips

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and lightly grease a 7 x 4x 3 inch-loaf pan.
2. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, xantham gum, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Add 1/2 cup oil and agave nectar, rice milk, and vanilla to dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
3. Using a plastic spatular gently fold in bananas and chocolate chips.
4. Fill prepared pan halfway with batter.
5. Bake on the center rack for 35 minutes, rotating 180 degrees after 20 minutes. Cook until when you press on the loaf is bounces back slightly and a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Let banana bread sit for 20 minutes before inverting onto a cutting board to cut.

Store at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tip* Wondering what to do with that left over batter? Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet and smooth remaining batter on top. Cook for 10 minutes at 325 degrees. Cut and enjoy as thin slices of bread!

Everything-Illuminated

Illuminating Garbage to Raise Awareness About Plastic Bags.

[The exhibition is intended to raise awareness about the use of plastic bags and their effects on the environment through artistic storytelling. According to the museum website, the indestructible objects "reflect consumer behavior, advertise status, reinforce identity, damage the environment and narrate our cultural history. At the same time, they are a symbol of our global society."] via.

Albert Einstein gets yarn-bombed.

[Olek strikes again! The famous yarn-bomber has been taking advantage of her time in DC. She recently surprised those strolling through the grounds of the National Academy of Sciences by covering a 12-foot tall statue of Albert Einstein in yarn!

“Wow, this is Awesome! You’re like the Banksy of yarn,” one viewer tweeted in response to the picture of her creation. Sadly, the yarn was removed from the statue in just a few hours. See more fun examples of yarn-bombing here and here.] via.

Hackysacky Saki Bomb

Representing the ladies in this post. This work is by Sakibomb, another female artist in the industry. I can't even help it. I see it on facebook and there is always something new, interesting, and cute every time. She brings out the Hello Kitty in all of us. I need to start my own collection. 

I pulled most of these photos from her facebook. The top three taken by JAG (a collaboration) and the needles, a collab with JOP. Kudos to you Saki!

Barcelona Diary

Just saw these Barcelona photos from a trip taken by SS. They are beautiful pics I just had to post a couple from my Barcelona trip (last 3) with my sister which I still can't believe was 7 years ago !! Had a good laugh when I was looking over them although we didn't have camera phones then and don't have nearly as many pictures as we would have today. but the memories stay with me always. Oh and P.S the picture with the eggs on top is Salvador Dali Theatre and Museum (also where he lived and was buried). It was breathtaking and still the most amazing place I have ever been. I'm getting the travel bug just looking at these!
