Banana Plum Wheat Bread

Only made this because my flat mate doesn't like to eat brown bananas. Ended up adding the plum because between the two of us we only had one brown and one semi-brown banana anyway. We also don't have measuring cups, vanilla extract, large bowls, spatulas, or a proper pan to make banana bread in. The size depicted is actually 3x5 inches, so I had to split the halved recipe into two batches. It's probably the best banana bread I've ever had because the plum, though ripe, downgraded the overall sweetness and added a little tang, color, and moisture. Quite nice!

Lamb and Butternut Squash Stew

Not a very photogenic stew, but it was good. I seared lamb, added red onions, and sage, added water and butternut squash pieces, picked out the lamb, picked out the bone, returned lamb to stew, then added a sour cream and wheat flour mixture. I even got a compliment in the med campus cafeteria!
