I only had two bananas left (my husband had stolen one !) so i djusted the rest of the recipe. I like the fact there are ground almonds because this reduces the barbs for my diabetic daughter. I replace 1/5 of the flour I used by cornstarch (it is usually supossed to make the dought even lighter) anyway it came out moist & fragrant, and is ready for breakfast tomorrow morning. thank you !un arc-en-ciel dans le lavabohttp://ourrainbowland.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-24075005741069130162012-04-30T23:58:05.298-07:002012-04-30T23:58:05.298-07:00Oh, your comment has made my day.

I feel very honoured at the idea of my banana bread in your kitchen, although I'm now dreaming of those red vlevet cupcakes, something I've always wanted to make but have never got around to. My mum is coming again in three weeks and I feel very excited already. The city looks so lovely and green now and I have many things planned for us to do. That's the best thing about visitors - the fact that they make you discover your own city in the new way. For me you don't have to travel far to see interesting things, the journey can be right on your doorstep.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967855350498876132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-15791021523772342572012-04-30T17:01:44.403-07:002012-04-30T17:01:44.403-07:00I've never had my mother, but I have a similar...I've never had my mother, but I have a similar relationship (so far) with my daughter ;)<br />I hope you can see her more often in Berlin !<br />I have pinned your banana bread recipe (linked to your blog of course) because this is where I keep some delicious baking recipes all ready for action in my kitchen ! and i will soon bake that bread ! red velvet cupcakes are already scheduled for tomorrow :)<br />I love the way you share your trips in photo, be it neighborhood or further away !un arc-en-ciel dans le lavabohttp://ourrainbowland.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-87373766111941516812012-04-21T13:39:59.891-07:002012-04-21T13:39:59.891-07:00Hope you're okay Emily Vanessa.

Jusqu'a recemment mes parents etaient comme les tiens, ils ne sont venus qu'une seule fois a Lyon et pas du tout en Allemagne. Mais apres leur visite a Berlin l'annee derniere, ma mere est si epatee de la ville qu'elle a vraiment hate d'y revenir aussitot que possible. Pour mon pere qui a du mal a marcher, c'est un peu trop grande et fatigante mais il aime aussi rester a la maison pour regarder le sport et boire de la biere.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967855350498876132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-54654447350049608532012-04-05T02:37:47.853-07:002012-04-05T02:37:47.853-07:00Moi aussi je déteste ramener quelqu'un au trai...Moi aussi je déteste ramener quelqu'un au train ou à l'aéroport dans la nuit et rentrer seule... c'est horriblement triste!

We're off to Paris for a couple of days together next week and then she'll pay me a final visit at the end of May.<br />@Magda - It must be hard no having seen your mum for so long. I hadn't seen mine since Christmas yet it still felt quite long and I wished she lived in Berlin. It's now her favourite city so she wishes that too! She doesn't send me cheese in the post though...<br />@Monica - I hope you and your daughter will always be close. Berlin is one of the best cities so you should definitely come and visit - I like spring and autumn the best.<br />@P.K - It's true, everything was just perfect - the weather, the museums, the walks - but of course the time just flew by. I can't believe I have so little time left here before I pack up and leave myself.<br />@Allison - Thanks so much for following! I haven't been writing so often and am grateful to my loyal readers to having patience with me. Hope you're having a lovely spring.<br />@Barbara - Yes absolutely, it really made the city come alive for me and discovered so many good things. Funnily, that's what my mum also loved, looking down at the street below and the children playing in the park opposite.<br />@Amrita - That's the big difference between Paris and Berlin as the former, as you say, really is a walker's city and I love that whereas here the distances are simply huge between the landmarks. I love the 1er arrondissement so much, especially those two things and I hope to see them again soon.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967855350498876132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-45880637968199631412012-04-03T02:14:44.252-07:002012-04-03T02:14:44.252-07:00I have to say that the entrance to Place Colette a...I have to say that the entrance to Place Colette and the bay along Palais Royale would be two of my many favourite places in Paris.
