No problem GF,
Leg is very stiff and sore, mainly my calf muscle. Once I stop I'm finding I need to use my crutches to get about. But I'm sure they will get stronger and stronger each day. :)

I had to cut off the end bit so DH and myself could try some before I could post the recipe. I was pleasantly surprised how nice it tasted. I definitely will be making this again. :)

It's more like cake than bread Chookie, I like it sliced with a bit of butter spread on it. Especially nice when warm.

Yes, no doubt, with gentle persuasion, it will get stronger - but do take it slowly!!  Isn't it an absolute cow, though, having something painful going on with your legs . . .!  Mobility goes downhill fast - very frustrating!  Hang in there!!  Here's hoping you'll be back to full strength very soon. :D

Yes i know it is more like cake,  but recently had toasted banana loaf at a swish cafe and it was very nice.

Thanks Mandi!! I LOVE all things like this toasted (banana bread included). I generally make them, let the family eat them for a day or so then slice and freeze for indulgent weekend breakfasts  :D :D

Yes I cut down on the sugar as well. Doesn't take away from the flavor. Might make another one tomorrow. :)
