Mulberry Banana Bread

3/4 c butter

1 1/4 c sugar

4 eggs

2 c mashed bananas

3 1/2 c flour

4 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda
2 c mulberries

Cream butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs. Sift dry ingredients together and add alternately with mashed bananas, blending well. Fold in berries. Dust two loaf pans with flour and turn half of batter into each. (or use Pam) Bake in moderate oven 350 degrees for 1 hour or until tested done.

Eat, it's delicious... or you can just do the banana bread part... because this recipe is the best I've ever had (compliments to Sarah Hazel.)

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

One prerequisite for being Anna Hazel is change. Growing up I always hated change, but now that I am finding my own way into the world I've found that change is necessary. My good friend Magdalena told me a while ago that she noticed that I don't stick with anything for more than one year, and it's pretty much true. One year in Austin and I am ready for a change... which I think will come in the form of a new home and new roommates.

All of the sudden, I get anxious, and I know what time it is. What is going to be new? Will I like it? Will I hurt people by doing it? Will life ever be the same after one more year?

Taking a chance can hurt but more often than not the world will keep on turning and it might turn out alright. I recently cut my hair in the back yard, worked through problems with a teacher, started working at the Cactus, told someone something important to me, and drank half a bottle of whiskey. Monday I'll head out on the road to California with my good friend Emily, and there's two people I'm going to miss a lot this summer, and I just don't know what to do with myself.
