Crazy Days Challenge - Day Three


Looking through the cupboards I realised that I had the Tahini from the Van and the Tahini from here in Wales both only half full.  It seemed a silly waste of cupboard space and as I'm sure they were of a similar age I decided to decant them both into a glass jar.

Gosh it's sticky stuff to move around, as bad as peanut butter, which is what it is very similar too.  I got it everywhere … but licking my fingers was tasty  😄


I do like things in glass jars, but I am afraid I have become 'cupboard blind'.  Similar to the 'nose blind' of some air freshener advert on television,  I am that used to seeing the things in the cupboards that I have stopped seeing or using the things in the cupboards.

NOW  is a perfect time to bring that nonsense to an end!!


I had a very black banana on the worktop, so black that I think usually the chickens might have had a treat ... but not this week.  I mushed it up and added it to some flour, sugar, Flora and apple sauce and some of the Glace cherries from the jar in the cupboard and made a quick banana loaf.

Alan had some with custard for his supper and I had a couple of slices with my last coffee of the day.  There's just about enough left to repeat the supper again tonight, even after Alan had two slices with his mid-morning cup of tea.  The only drawback to making this is that it's made us both crave even more home-baking.

I will have to check the cupboards for all the other ingredients I can make use of, well at least it will start to empty those jars!!

  1. I have a bit of a jar thing, I just prefer seeing things in jars, and its much better than open packets. I see you like the lotus biscuits as well, I always keep them in. Home baking is so good.x

    1. Yes, so many cafés that we go into (or should I say used to until recently) don't have anything dairy free for me, so I nearly always have a pack or two of these in my bag 🙂

  2. Home baking really is addictive, I agree. Even the flops taste great! You banana bread looks far from a flop, mind you, it looks utterly delicious!

  3. I had 3 soft bananas this week, mashed them up, added oats until the consistency was right, added some sultanas and some cinnamon. Lined a baking tray, put the oven on 160, used an ice cream scoop and put them on the tray, used a fork to flatten them slightly and baked for 12-15 mins. Lovely and no sugar or butter used, so healthy as well. I am looking for recipes that don't use eggs as only have 3 left, came up with the depression cake, flapjacks and scones, so far. The Banana loaf looks delicious. Helen S.

  6. Your banana bread looks yum. It's one of my favourites. I've been baking and using up odds and sods.
