Go Bananas!

It's a cool night here tonight.
So cool it has made the monstrous portable AC unit we purchased a few weeks ago seem ludicrous.
I was productive in my Tuesday-Eve.
I conquered errands
(including scoring a rush alteration job on the bridesmaid dress for $25 which is divine considering I'm now avoiding flashing a church full of guests who really only care about the Bride. Far be it for me--or my boobs--to steal the lime light!)
I didn't make dinner but I ate the one someone made for me--perfection!
I did two loads of laundry, hand washed the dishes, took out the garbage..
(all the things I sort of need excessive thanks for ;)
but most importantly....
oh yes---most importantly
I made Banana Bread!
(Tonight as the house filled up with the smell, I couldn't help but wonder is there a Banana Bread Candle? Tricia?)

So in case you're feeling like warming your heart, home, and belly
(and completely disregarding good caloric behavior)
here's my all time favorite recipe:I personally prefer it when it's cold from the fridge....

Ingredients
2 Cups Granulated Sugar
1 Cup Butter
6 Ripe Bananas, Mashed
4 Eggs, well beaten
2 1/2 Cups Flour
1 TSP Salt
2 TSP Baking soda

Directions
1. In a large bowl cream together the sugar and butter until fluffy.

2. Add bananas and eggs, blend.

3. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda.

4.Carefully blend the flour mixture into the banana mixture.

5. Pour the batter into 2 greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pans

6. Bake in a pre-heated 350 oven for 50-55 minutes.

7. Cool for 10 minutes.

8. Remove the loaves from the pans and cool completely on racks before serving.

*Remember-testing the bread with a toothpick won't necessarily b e accurate due to the bananas.
