Today I'm trying out a new recipe for Banana Banana Bread that I found in All Recipes.  This one uses 5 bananas where my usual one takes 3, and butter instead of oil.  I made half the flour whole wheat.  Partway through I realized there was no other flavoring besides the bananas, so I added a teaspoon of cinnamon.  It will be interesting to see how this turns out.  :D

EDIT 12/5/25 -- This turned out pretty well.  It's a bit prone to falling apart, but may set up more as it cools.  It has quite a strong banana flavor.  I don't think I'll replace my usual recipe, but this certainly works for using up a lot of bananas.

Mollion says some job candidates have always misrepresented themselves, but AI has made the gap between presentation and reality even wider—making interviews and written materials even less reliable.

“On top of that, traditional interviews simply don’t reveal real skill, work style, responsiveness, or judgment,” Mollion told me. “People can say all the right things in an interview, but none of that guarantees how they actually perform on the job.”


I've been saying for years that brief resumes, college degrees, and office interviews offer very little indication of an applicant's actual ability to do a job.
