Yes! We have no bananas today!


We thought we were just having a run of the mill baking group when,
suddenly, a monkey came bounding into the room!  We were all so
surprised to see a monkey come in holding a loaf of bread, but it only
took us a few minutes to realize what was going on; we were making
"Monkey Bread."

The monkey finally took off her mask and we recognized her as one of
our beloved Wellness team members, Charmain.  She heard that we were
making monkey bread and wanted to give us something to remember.  Then
we all got busy rolling the dough and coating it with sugar and
cinnamon.  Once placed in the Bundt pan, the dough was covered with a
thick and gooey caramel sauce.  As it baked, the most wonderful smells
came out of the oven!  Everyone who walked by was drawn in to the
Garden Room hoping to get something good to eat.  When the monkey
bread was finally finished baking we crossed our fingers as Daniele
unmolded it from the pan.  Whew!  It came out in one piece and as soon
as it was cool enough we picked it apart, enjoying every bite.
