Banana Bread

The Easiest Banana Bread Ever
..that is unless you know of a recipe that I don't know of that's easier..

5-6 old bananas
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of butter, softened
3 1/2 cups of flour
2 tsps of baking soda
1 tsp of salt
4 eggs

1. Start by creaming the sugar and butter in a big bowl... this is the secret key to success (that isn't really a secret anymore)
2. In a seperate bowl, squish the bananas
   
3. Now add the rest of the ingredients to the big bowl ~ including the banana goo
   
4. Keep stirring, even though your arm hurts, until it's a goobery brown thick liquid
5. Plop mixture into a greased pan, I use 2 glass 8 1/2" pans
   
6. Cook at 300 degrees for about an hour and 15 minutes. I would check when it's getting close, though.

The bananas were so old that when I picked them up, the peels fell off. Gross.

Little O is more than happy to be at home alone with mom in the mornings... he gets to help with everything without all of the competition.

Stirring away.

Looking to see if it's done yet even though the oven light is burnt out.

Because the bread takes so dang long to bake, I thought that I would just swing by and pick up Mr. P from morning kindergarten. I told myself about 50 times to turn off the oven before we left (there was only about five minutes left of cooking time so I figured that I could switch off the oven and just leave the bread in there to cook in the cooling oven). Did I? Nope. That would have been the "right" thing to do. So the bread was well done, but slab enough butter onto it and it remains yummy-licious. Mr.P won't stop asking me for
just one more.
