Milk in Your Eggs?

My mom cooked scrambled eggs with milk, my husband's mom didn't... so I haven't made eggs with milk in a long time. Today on allrecipes.com I got the base recipe for making a frittata, and yup there are eggs and milk coexisting happily together. So I went for it and made up my own frittata with what was in the kitchen... I'll let you know if it worked.

Coffee Cake isn't Banana Bread...

Bananas
Ripe bananas
I'm supposed to be baking banana bread, but there's a "Great Coffee Cake" actually a sour cream coffee cake in the oven. Shhhh, don't tell anybody. There's still a bunch of bananas (yes, the whole bunch) on my counter, speckled and totally ripe. Hmm, maybe we should make banana milkshakes?

Great Coffee Cake
The Breakfast Book, pg. 256

2 sticks butter
1 C sugar
3 eggs
2 1/2 C flour
2 t baking pwdr
1 t baking soda
1 t salt
1 C sour cream

(Set oven to 350. Mix butter, sugar, eggs. Stir dry ingredients and mix with butter mixture. Add sour cream. Bake in greased & floured Bundt pan for 50 minutes or until done.)

Update: I didn't like this recipe. It was too rich. Em thought it was good.
