I have been making this recipe since 1983. It was in a MADD cookbook of food editors' favorites. My family loves this recipe.. it is true, the roper the bananas the better. I usually blend the bananas and eggs in my blender for a smooth non chunky texture. I think baking time is also affected by the ripeness/liquid content of the bsnanas.

This was a very good banana bread. Using very ripe bananas is definitely the secret in getting that wonderful banana flavor--and this recipe has lots of them! My husband ate almost an entire loaf while it was cooling off! I did substitute butter for the margarine (personal preference). I just wish I had dropped the heat back about 25 degrees because the outside browned quicker than the inside cooked.

Behold, the worst picture of me ever taken, I think. I'm in distress over the paint color that you see behind me, and am suffering from brain scramble after looking at too many potential paint colors over a very short amount of time. However, it's one of those "me, now" pics that amuse me, so I figured I'd share. Onward...
Hi there! Self description always throws me, but I'll try: I'm a hyper, writing, Yoga-practicing, fashion-loving, almost-constantly-reading, very Type A, highly domestic ovo-lacto vegetarian who is obsessed with Nutella and has a very personable German Shepherd/Husky mix named Totsi. I think that just about covers it.
Sometimes, everyone needs a little Totsi, so here she "bee":
