8. The number of weekends left to spend time with TheGirls. The only thing that keeps me in the kitchen for hours, chatting up a storm catching up on our daily lives as if we don't see each other ever.

Had some overly ripe bananas that were in dying need of a recipe so we decided to make Coffee flavored banana bread ... with chocolate chips of course! Indira brought over a can of coconut milk and I had also bought two cans of coconut milk for no reason earlier today. Clearly we both had something coconut in mind whether it was intentional or not ... so ... we had to do something with it ... Chilled coconut squares it is!

We made 3 recipes in 3 hours tonight. In between baking two desserts, we made dinner. Somehow, weekend or weekday, we always end up baking until way past midnight ... so we got the name "Midnight Bakers". But, what does one do with all these sweets? We'd surely get fat if we ate it all ourselves! So ... we took in volunteers to eat them, give us your passcodes and/or house key and we'll leave them at your place! Delivered our first surprise baked goods at a friends' place and cleaned out his fridge from expired foods while we were at it ... it's kinda creepy to be sneaking into your friends' homes to leave sweets in their fridge while they're at work and a note saying:

"Dear Neighbor, Better on your hips than ours! xoxo the Mightnight Bakers" 

... so Indira came up with our new logo; the chef with a moustache. :) I'm so going to miss you Indira! :)
