music retrospective

2024-10-19

i used to do that thing where i would listen to the same 20-or-so songs on shuffle (rotating them in and out over time of course), all day every day, from as early as i can remember to twenty-two years old when my hearing was taken from me. i've become really attached to the memory of music since then, so in this post i will take a brief look back at some of the songs i used to listen to, broken down by era or influence as best as i can, in order to share some nostalgia with you!

dairy-free banana bread

i grew up on my mom's banana bread. it's a great way to use overripe bananas. this recipe was developed from a generic nut bread recipe from her old betty crocker cookbook by both of us making changes along the way.
