Banana Bread w/ Bittersweet Chocolate and Crystallized Ginger
I had to use 1 almost-ripe banana because the frozen ones didn't quite make 1 1/2 cups
Roads, like music, crystallize memories. Here are some roads that make me remember. Why not make your own 'street atlas'?
See mine as a flickr set.
I'm not saying why, or where they are - you can guess if you like.
if you do make your own - post it here

Pikes Peak is the easternmost fourteen thousand foot peak in the United States, located 37 miles (60 km) west of the city of Colorado Springs and almost 8,000ft in height.
Pikes Peak is composed of a characteristic pink granite called Pikes Peak granite. The pink color is due to a large amount of potassium feldspar. The granite was once magma that crystallized at least 20 miles (32 km) beneath the Earth's surface. It was formed by an igneous intrusion during the Precambrian, approximately 1.05 billion years ago, during the Grenville orogeny. Through the process of uplifting the hardened rock pushed through the Earth's crust and created a dome-like structured mountain, covered with less resistant rock. Years of erosion and weathering removed the soil and rock leaving the exposed mountain.
This was taken on our way back from Pike's Peak, Colorado Springs.
Igneous rocks form by the cooling & crystallization of hot, molten rock (magma & lava). If this happens at or near the land surface, or on the seafloor, they are extrusive igneous rocks. If this happens deep underground, they are intrusive igneous rocks. Most igneous rocks have a crystalline texture, but some are clastic, vesicular, frothy, or glassy.
Obsidian is readily identifiable. It is a glassy-textured, extrusive igneous rock. Obsidian is natural glass - it lacks crystals, and therefore lacks minerals. Obsidian is typically black in color, but most obsidians have a felsic to intermediate chemistry. Felsic igneous rocks are generally light-colored, so a felsic obsidian seems a paradox. Mafic obsidians are scarce, but they are also black and glassy.
Obsidian is an uncommon rock, but can be examined at several famous localities in America, such as Obsidian Cliff at the Yellowstone Hotspot (northwestern Wyoming, USA) and Big Obsidian Flow at the Newberry Volcano (central Oregon, USA).
Obsidian is moderately hard and has a conchoidal fracture (smooth and curved fracture surface), with sharp broken edges. Freshly-broken obsidian has the sharpest edges of any material known, natural or man-made (as seen under a scanning electron microscope).
Obsidian forms two ways: 1) very rapid cooling of lava, which prevents the formation of crystals; 2) cooling of high-viscosity lava, which prevents easy movement of atoms to form crystals. An example of obsidian that formed the first way is along the margins of basaltic lava flows at Kilaeua Volcano (Hawaii Hotspot, central Pacific Ocean). Most obsidian formed the second way.
Seen here is flow-banded gray obsidian - an unusual color. The front face is a crack surface with conchoidal fracture.
