Well, the banana bread was great. In one word, Moist. As far as taste, I couldn't tell much difference. The best thing about it was it was my new "comfort food". From now on, it's blueberries in the batter.
Just finished reading Secret Lives of the First ladies, by Cormac O"Brien. It covered all wives up through Laura Bush. It is an interesting little book, with only four or five pages of information about each wife. It reveals some of their idiosyncrasies, their desire for or against their husband being president, their social life and their ability to be a president's wife.
Some wives gave great parties, a few were not very social, and there was one that forbid drinking, smoking, card playing or pool in the White House.
Decorating was also an interesting aspect of the women. From one wife to the next, some wives had very definite ideas on how the home should look and often quite different from one another.
A few had very tragic lives, such as Mary Todd Lincoln.
If you are snoopy like me and like to know all about people, you will really enjoy this book. It is light reading and sheds another aspect of Presidential life in the White House.
Until next time,
Be Kind to One Another.
