Here's the result!/ Know your oven

My chord was found!  It was in my house mate's camera bag.  Haha, oh well.  The point of it all is that the chord is here which means, yes, you get to see a photo!  Here is the Cinnamon Banana Walnut Loaf:






It should have a golden-brown look to it and MUST be eaten with a generous amount of butter! :)

REAL QUICK
While I have you here, let me talk a little bit about your oven.  Some are gas, other electric; but the important thing is to KNOW YOUR OVEN PERSONALLY.
What do I mean by that?
I mean that once you start baking in it, you will discover that it has certain characteristics.  Example, some and most ovens have hot spots.  Once you find that hot spot, you want to make sure you are either rotating what you are baking so one side doesn't get over cooked while the other side isn't done yet; or if your hot spot is in a more avoidable place, you should try not to get whatever you are baking too close to it.  My oven hot spot, for example, is at the bottom of the oven.  Anything on the bottom is going to burn and not be done.  So I avoid the bottom rack.
So get to know your oven.  Generally, I have found gas to function better than electric; but that is also a personal preference.  I have baked and cooked with both and done just fine.  You can too. :)
 That's all I've got for now.  Let me know how your bread turned out!


Let us talk basic kneeds!
