Banana Bread

On Monday while waiting for the ADT guy to install our security system, I decided to bake banana bread. I have to be in a certain mood to bake and I suppose I was in it. Also, the three almost completely black bananas in the fruit bowl depressed me. So, I opened up the kitchen window to let the wonderful fall air in and got busy. The smell of baking banana bread was wonderful. And the bread was good too.
