Comba-nana Bread

Finally! I found some bananas! Seriously, I didn't realize how rare those things are out here. I was walking to the Dining Facility with my girl, Julie and a dude walks out carrying 2 bananas. I admit, I squealed with joy a bit. As soon as I walked in, I grabbed a to-go box, skipped past all the bacon and eggs and staked my claim on 5 bananas. Those five bananas were turned into this little creation.

High Hopes Chocolate Cake

Hooray! It's the first (actual) entry into the Combat Baking portion of my blog. The other entry was actually an explanation of this portion. I finally got to bake something, and believe me, it was long overdue. The first baked goodie for this deployment? Something I have aptly dubbed "High Hopes Chocolate Cake" both for the fact that I had to make so many substitutions on a regular recipe and that I baked the final result in an airplane high over Afghanistan. (How freaking cool is that?)

Combat Baking

So, I'm deployed to Afghanistan for a few months. Think that will stop me from baking?  Yeah right. Although it has been awhile since I've been able to post, and my posts will probably be fewer and further in between, I am still dedicated to keeping the baking alive!
