and thus begins the weekend's baking. emilio begats blueberry lemon muffins... 


this dessert is dedicated to A...who missed a fine meal and an intrepid adventure into the world of ice cream and banana breads, which began w/ some ben and jerry's chocolate therapy... 


or what about...coffee ice cream w/ caramel swirls and chocolate bits... 


the idea spreads, and generates... 


another innovative diner...bananas and chocolate ice cream atop banana bread... 


a study break produces banana muffins with cream cheese filling. critics say, MORE cream cheese...but w/ berries instead, and next time, bananas'll go with chocolate chips instead... 


so ends Friday's baking...
