Good, and good FOR you!

5. They can be frozen for future 'nana bread...

or just make the banana bread and freeze it.

7. Possible............We live.......

in a condo & the neighbors down the hall & across the hall are all very nice. So if I do make another one, probably will give half of loaf to each of them.

10. Can I have the recipe for the banana bread?

[mrmpa]

11. I'll email it to you.............

It's from a recipe book from about 1952. I grew up using this book for baking when I was a kid. About 3 years ago I realized we were missing so many pages from it. I went on ebay found a copy of it, intact, gave it to mom & she was so excited to get it.

12. Those are the best gifts, especially if people are sure they won't find another copy.

13. Even my brothers remembered the book & read through it on Christmas. Check your email. ......eom
