steaming baked goods

for a hot second this weekend, i thought my oven was dead.  it was letting out gas.  i feared for bunks's life.  in a panic, i called the gas company to come take a look.  the gas guy said no deal, the gas valve is dead.  my life flashed before my eyes: a life of no more sweets?  this could not be.  i had already mixed a batch of banana bread batter and didn't want it to go to waste, so i tried my hand at steaming the banana bread.  in 6 itty bitty ramikins.  best. idea. ever.
i mean, how cute are they?  and automatic portion control!
as you may know, asian peeps steam their breads.  think cha siu bao, or bbq pork buns.  here i was, channeling my inner asian.  the good news is that the super came to fix my oven.  it's now working!  my baking career has not ended!

on the bunks front, he has been shedding all his hair for the fall.  this weekend i vacuumed enough hair to cover 12 bunnies.  so gross.  here's a bald spot on his forehead, hehe.
