After a call to my dad, my heart started racing. I had to take an Ativan. That usually always helps, but I try hard to limit the frequency I take that prn medication.

I'm still thinking about what to give our neighbor. I want to make a banana pineapple nut bread, but I only have enough ripe bananas for one loaf. Since I've never used that recipe, I'm reluctant to give her that. One must test new recipes out first. Even for recipes I've made many times, a sampling is necessary. Last time I made a Bishop's bread, I didn't realize that the hazelnuts were rancid until the loaf was made. I know now to taste the nuts before adding them to the batter. That was a real bummer! Maybe I will make a Bishop's bread. Most people like it. It's sort of a cake that a chocolate chip nut cookie lover would like, but with some lemon zest in it. I think few people dislike chocolate chip cookies. I don't think she's allergic to nuts.
