Ugh. I just put a banana bread in the oven (a James Beard recipe that
we like) about 15 minutes ago and suddenly I can smell burning, all the
way up here on the second floor. The dang thing has overflowed and is
charring on the floor of the oven.

My bad. The recipe called for a 9x5 inch bread pan and I poured the
batter into a longer, narrower bread pan, maybe 11x4.

Tomorrow morning I'll scrape out the oven and do a major cleaning.
That'll teach me. Meanwhile it does smell something awful.
