Movies I Can't Wait to Get from Netflix

I was having fun last night with my husband going over our Netflix cue. There are so many forgotten movies and TV shows of my childhood. Not to mention the many things I had never heard of or seen before because we had all of five channels that came in on our antenna. We got satelite around 1995 or so. I immediately attached myself to the cartoon network channel and TV Land channel. Ahh, Primestar. Anyway. Listie listie!

That is, if Netflix wasn't mean and only listed twenty five of each category if you don't have a login. Grrr. :(

Chocolate Banana Bread

4c. oatmeal (not old fashioned)
3c. self rising flour
2/3c. olive oil
1/4c. cocoa
6-7 bananas
1 1/2c. brown sugar
1t baking soda
1t salt
1T cinnamon
1/2 c. black walnuts
3/4c. dried cranberries
8T milk

Cut up banana with a stout wire whisk into a cream with no large pieces. Add oil and milk. Mix. If you aren't already, I hope you are using at least a four quart bowl for this. Add the walnuts and cranberries to mix. Then mix in the salt and baking soda with cinnamon. Mix in the brown sugar (beware sugar clumps). Mix in flour. Lastly, mix in the oatmeal.

Lightly oil a 9 x 13 pan (one of the deep disposable chafing/aluminum pans that are over an inch deep). Dump batter into pan and smooth top before putting into oven or else there will be burnt peaks.

Oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour, let rest in oven for 10 min before pulling out to portion.

Waffle with Syrup A lady after my own heart, a baker with a tendency to make things out of what is around the kitchen. I need to read more of this later. Mmm, orange cake...
