A Very Special Bank Account
Imagine you had a bank account that deposited $86,400 each morning. The account carries over no balance from day to day, allows you to keep no cash balance, and every evening cancels whatever part of the amount you had failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every dollar each day!
We all have such a bank. Its name is Time. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever time you have failed to use wisely. It carries over no balance from day to day. It allows no overdraft so you can’t borrow against yourself or use more time than you have. Each day, the account starts fresh. Each night, it destroys an unused time. If you fail to use the day’s deposits, it’s your loss and you can’t appeal to get it back.
There is never any borrowing time. You can’t take a loan out on your time or against someone else’s. The time you have is the time you have and that is that. Time management is yours to decide how you spend the time, just as with money you decide how you spend the money. It is never the case of us not having enough time to do things, but the case of whether we want to do them and where they fall in our priorities.

News Story
A brave ups driver rushed into a burning home to save a family. Apparently brown can do a lot for you. Paul Pereira is a ups driver who was on his last stop of the day when he noticed smoke coming from a nearby house. Th neighbors stood and watched, but Paul rushed in the house. He put out the worst of the fire with a garden hose. The family was unaware of the fire and they thought it was the neighbor’s barbeque. The family would have lost their lives if not for this brave delivery man.
Recipe
Baked brown butter banana bread doughnuts
ingredients
CRUMB TOPPING
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
DOUGHNUTS
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown butter
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup buttermilk
1¼ cups mashed banana (from about 3 medium bananas)
GLAZE
2 cups powdered sugar
1 pinch salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 to 4 tablespoons whole milk, divided
Preparation
Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Grease two mini doughnut pans with nonstick cooking spray. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
For the crumb topping:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugars, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter and, using your fingers, quickly blend the butter into the flour mixture until there are bits the size of oat flakes but most is incorporated into the mixture. Spread into an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, stirring twice during baking, until lightly brown. Let cool completely.
For the doughnuts:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the browned butter, eggs, vanilla and buttermilk. Whisk in the mashed bananas. Add the mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Fold together, making sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl to get hidden pockets of flour, until just combined; do not overwork. Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in a doughnut comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and salt. Whisk in the butter, vanilla and 2 tablespoons of milk. Add more milk, if needed, for a thin and very spreadable consistency.
To assemble:
Once the doughnuts are completely cool, use a butter knife to spread each doughnut with glaze and immediately add a generous amount of crumble topping to each donut. Let set for 15 minutes before serving. The doughnuts are best the day they're made, but they will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
