So, this past week, I was in the mood for an Italian'ish Shrimp dish, stopped by the awesome HEB near work to pick up some ingredients. I included some Cilantro and limes for another dish I was going to make the next day, but ended up getting a little creative. To my surprise, this recipie ended up more Thai than Italian. I've never made a Thai dish, but have eaten many tasty ones before.

Anyways, so I can make it again (on purpose) at a later date:

8-10 Medium Shrimp
2 Limes
1 Onion
2 Cloves of Garlic
1 cup of freshly diced Cilantro

For Christmas, I made Banana Bread for friends, co-workers and neighbors. I really _NEVER_ want to see a loaf of it again, at this point. Anyways, for posterity, here's the recipe (from the Food Network website.

1 cup granulated sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 large eggs
3 ripe bananas
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
