Banana Sweet Potato Scone Bread
This is a very thick, dense bread, almost like a large scone.  
It is a vegan recipe.  Taste tested and approved!
one very ripe banana
one sweet potato cooked thoroughly
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vanilla soy milk
one lemon, cut in half
1.5 cups white whole wheat flour
one teaspoon baking soda
one teaspoon baking powder
teaspoon + of cinnamon
.5 teaspoon nutmeg 

-heat oven to 400 degrees
- squeeze half of lemon into the soy milk ( it will curdle, this is good)
-in a mixing bowl, mash banana and sweet potato into a well moistened paste, then combine other wet ingredients and mix. Squeeze lemon into the mix.
-in a separate mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients
- mix dry ingredients into the wet until it is consistent and a thick dough, add more soy milk if it seems far too dry and crumbly 
- spray baking pan with cooking spray and place dough in center, shaping it into a loaf
- peel lemon rind and place on top ( I put walnuts on top of mine as well) dust top  with cinnamon 
- bake 20-25 minutes

"I'm gonna have all my vegetables"

Only two more weeks of the farmers market left here in the Lincoln Square neighborhood, and my twenty dollars could only get me so far today.
This is what I bought:
candy onions
kale
sweet potatoes
spinach
green peppers
a pumpkin
tomatoes
fresh pressed apple cider (yum)

Sunday Morning Brings the Dawning

"where's the paper bag that holds the liquor, just in case I feel the need to puke.
...if it gets really really bad,
if it ever gets really really bad, 
lets not kid ourselves
it gets really really bad."

Children's Book

This was an illustration for a children's book book concept about memories and the things that change and you forget as you grow up.   It concentrated on coming back to and revisting the past.
