Chocolate Chip Banana Bread: 1st Attempt.

There were chocolate chips laying around, so I had the bright idea of making chocolate chip banana bread- I went to No Frills yesterday and bought some bananas.

I found this recipe online and started my first attempt. The first picture is the before shot and the second one is the after.

Taste wise: it turned out pretty okay but the recipe called for 55-65 mins and it ended up being 1hour and 40 mins. I must have used a smaller pan than recommended in the recipe. The crust around the banana bread was a little too over done and crispy but the inside was great.

I'm probably going to try again soon and hopefully prefect it a bit more!

After work down time.

A bunch of friends invited me to The Madison after a long day of work on a Thursday.

This is the first time I've come here and I am pretty happy with the service and the atmosphere. On Thursdays all appetizers are half off from 4-7pm and bar rail drinks which include gin, vodka, rye and whiskey and domestic beer for under $4!!

This place is pretty nice and very lively. A lot of university and college students but also a mixed crowd.

Would definitely recommend this place :) 

Yummy whiskey sour!
