Nuts!
Posted on | January 28, 2010 | 6 Comments
I was just going to link to a video I enjoyed six times yesterday, but I thought that would be weak after not blogging for two days.
I’ve been really trying to find blog fodder, but every day cannot be ripe with hilarity, can it?
So here’s what I was thinking about last night at 2am when I woke up and was panicking about taxes coming up and my mortgage and health insurance and OH MY GOD.
I thought about nuts.
And how I make banana bread with nuts. I believe banana bread should have nuts in it. Banana bread without nuts is just so meh to me.
Furthermore, I believed everyone felt this way….
Well, not so much.
You see, last night Fancyhats was enjoying some of my banana bread and I said, “Oh my god, isn’t it the best? I make the best banana bread. So yummy!”
And Fancyhats said, “It’s really good. Fiberous. And good.”
And I said, “Oh, fiberous because it’s got yummy chunks of banana in it.”
And he said, “Because of the nuts.”
I could tell from his voice that the nuts were a drawback to him. Perhaps counting against the possibility that my banana bread is the best in the whole world.
And I said, “Nuts belong in banana bread.”
And he said, “I like my mom’s banana bread. It’s squishy.”
I spent the next several seconds replaying in my head conversations I’ve had with Fancyhats regarding my baked goods. I claim I have baked the best bananabreadoatmealcookieschocolatechipcookies and he says “They’re fiberous.” And that’s because I put NUTS in all of those things.
Because I like nuts in baked goods.
Also, ice cream.
I don’t like nuts on their own. I’d never just grab a handful of nuts, but I love them in food.
And at 3am this morning when I’d processed all of this, I realized that perhaps not everyone feels like nuts are a necessary addition to baked goods. Also, people like that ARE WRONG.
On a related topic, Fancyhats prefers unsalted butter to salted butter. [See the paragraph above.]

I’m more concerned with the fact that he immediately compared your banana bread to HIS MOTHER’S.
You know what I’m saying.

I too was worried about that. But I think this is just how it is with men. He knows how to do his own laundry. That counts for a lot in this department.

Sorry to say, I’m with Fancyhats. On the nuts. Not the butter. (What a FREAK.) I don’t like hard things in my squishy things.
Again. Another reason I may still be single.

I am totally with you, nuts belong in baked goods! And well they are pretty good in any food and even by themselves, but banana bread with no nuts is bleh.

1) Oh no he didn’t! He compared your banana bread to his mama’s?
b) NUTS IN EVERYTHING. All of it. I was heartbroken when Char said she doesn’t like nuts in her cookies, and so I shouted “whose child are you, anyway?” at her.
10) Why do they even make unsalted butter?
