Maybe it's an Australian thing like Camilla said? Perhaps we just don't do good banana bread?<br />Wyatt (my 7yr old) and I made this yesterday. He was a bit sceptical about the 'mushed up' bananas so I was doubtful that he would even try the finished product.<br />I think the smell of it baking brought him around though ;-) We had our first piece warm and spread with real butter. His little eyes actually rolled up in his head as he said, and I quote, 'I am in HEAVEN!'. After another piece he declared it to be his new favourite food, even better than a McDonalds sundae with extra chocolate. OMG! That's some high praise right there. His final verdict - Fantastically Awesomely Deliciously Good!<br />I'm guessing we'll be making this regularly from now on. You are obviously the banana bread Queen and I bow down before you.<br /><br />BTW I think you lovely Mum looks like Julie Andrews in that photo.Leisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298701075110623658.post-28539698757304569472009-09-28T07:26:15.812-06:002009-09-28T07:26:15.812-06:00You and your mom are amazing, TKW.

We never moved the whole time in a small house. Me and my two sisters shared the room on the second floor. Good and bad. I was extremely shy in school. It's so refreshing hearing your stories.

Seven years later they still are. And MEAN/RUDE to all who are not in the clique. I am horrified, and feel like the new kid every time I have to go to school for something. I skipped all this when I was growing up, but it is HORRIBLE!catherine @ www.unconfidentialcook.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14575873066347951124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298701075110623658.post-51170442912219187352009-09-26T17:01:06.070-06:002009-09-26T17:01:06.070-06:00Aw, so sweet :) Banana bread has always been a co...Aw, so sweet :) Banana bread has always been a comfort to me...Love the retro pics ;)Heather S-Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02722720171083290211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298701075110623658.post-27508944668681700732009-09-26T14:18:43.966-06:002009-09-26T14:18:43.966-06:00I am a huge fan of banana bread.I am a huge fan of banana bread.AiringMyLaundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051140760624657630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298701075110623658.post-33226147868300984432009-09-25T15:58:39.070-06:002009-09-25T15:58:39.070-06:00School can be a rough place! :0(
