My recent banana bread was a failure,,,, Not sure what I did wrong,,, but the devl. did not rise any???? I know I added all the necessary ingredients. (baking powder, and soda)
The taste was good,,, but no rise..

Baking powder can go bad. Baking soda needs acid in the recipe. Also, Baking soda begins reacting as soon as it hits acid so the batter needs to go into the oven promptly.

Recipes with baking soda should not have the pans dropped to remove air bubbles since removing air bubbles defeats the purpose of the baking soda.

I bet the next time you bake banana bread it will work perfectly!

I made a loaf of yeast bread today, half whole wheat, half AP flour. I used Molly Yeh's Challah bread recipe (google Molly's Challah, I can't c&p links, sorry!). It's pretty good even though it's lopsided, lol. Next time I will use a bigger loaf pan. !

As a german, a few tipps, usually, the crust is much thinner compared to the filling, and we also put the crust up the sides of the pan, and while we lived in Canada we used to just put regular yogurt into a coffee filter and let the liquid drip away for a few hours, what was left was a good quark substitute

Straining regular yogurt through a filter to drain off the whey is how I make Greek yogurt! This is called quark?

Ron.... You are a wizard. ,,,, Now I know,,, I was multitasking, and had other things going on,,,,, and the great banana bread just didn't get to oven soon enough.

I made fried rice for lunch yesterday witn (cough cough) store bought eggs. I have 2, maybe 3, hens laying, but only sporadically.

The "cheap store brand" eggs that were at one point $5/dozen? Back down to $1.09/doz. That bubble has well and truly burst, at least for now.

The eggs here are still $5.00 and more per dozen.

No, you use fat reduced milk together with certain milk bacteria and a bit of rennet to thicken it, but it is the best substitute, in my opinion
