Friday catch up...

I made these berry swirl (I added choc chip) muffins this morning. We had some visitors come for morning tea. These are Betty Crocker packet muffins - very easy and very yummy.

I've been enjoying the music of Miranda Lambert...

...and Colbie Caillat...

...and Lady Antebellum. Love this music. I came across them on someone's blog (can't remember who) and then I actually bought their CD. I've been listening to it since about February. I said to Bri how I thought it was only a matter of time before they broke into the Australian charts and I just heard one of their songs played on the radio yesterday. It was funny to hear the DJ announce them as a new group when I've been singin' their songs for months.

I also made a big banana cake this week, smothered in chocolate icing. I had 2 bananas that had gone brown and over-ripe. They make perfect banana cake. I was a nice boss and took a big plate of cake into our workers.

BANANA CAKE
*these ingredients must be added in this order*
Cream 125gms softened butter with 1 cup of sugar, add 2 ripe, mashed bananas then 1/2 cup of milk with 1 tspn carb soda dissolved in milk. Add 2 eggs, well beaten then 1 3/4 cup SR flour and a pinch of salt. Mix gently until combined. Turn into a lined, greased cake tin and bake for 45 mins to 1 hour in moderate oven (180C). Test with skewer to see if cooked. If it comes out clean its done. Ice with chocolate or cream cheese icing.
~This is my crazy cat, Bonnie. This is what she does when she 'wants in' and feeding. She rumbles on the screen until I let her in, get some food then let her 'out' again. She is an outdoors moggie.
Added - to answer some questions : Our screen is an Amplimesh security screen which is made from strong metal and fortunately cannot be destroyed by my cat.

The clouds or closing in and I think we are in for some good rain over the weekend. Fingers crossed we get through netball tomorrow morning then it can rain all it wants. Have a nice weekend, won't you?
