I don't know where I found this recipe. It just turned up in a file when I was looking for something else and tonight I made it. It's a Banana Chocolate Chip Upside-Down Cake and it's delicious. Especially warm with some whipped cream. Yum!

Now for something less sweet.
It seems like the news is full of total bull goose loonies these days. On ABC, Christiane Amanpour interviewed Libyan strongman Moammar Gaddafi today and he laughed! Repeatedly. When she asked him about his forces killing protesters he absolutely denied it and said there are no protesters, that everyone in the country loves him. And on and on. The U.S. government says Gaddafi is delusional and he certainly seems it.
Then there's Charlie Sheen, who seems like he's just visiting from some alien planet. Piers Morgan is interviewing him on CNN as I'm writing this and he has said that Charlie should be able to act out his life however he likes as long as he shows up for work on time and does his job. There are some questions by reliable people about his conduct, whether he's on drugs, whether he's got a mental problem of some kind or just what the heck is wrong with him. I just can't figure it out.
And finally there was a report today that Ponzi specialist Bernard Madoff made a collect telephone call to a New York magazine writer to tell him that he's discovered he's a good person through prison psychiatry sessions. Madoff, you may remember, swindled thousands of investors out of billions of dollars but he doesn't seem to have any guilt about it.
What is going on? Is there something in the water?
Maybe these guys all need some of my Banana Chocolate Chip Upside-Down Cake.
