Going Bananas!

My kitchen refrigerator's freezer has been occasionally dripping on to the floor lately. My dad came out at the perfect time, he figured it all out and fixed it for me. The drainage hole in the bottom of the refrigerator was plugged (probably with dust..I was shocked! ha!) so apparently when it self-defrosted, it couldn't get out that drainage opening. ANYWAY... my whole point about this is that when I carried everything out to the garage freezer so we could defrost the inside freezer I found a "few" bananas stuck away in the freezer, waiting to be made into banana bread. When bananas get too ripe I just throw the whole banana in the freezer. When I've collected at least 3 I make banana bread. Does anyone want to guess how many bananas I found?....OK, I'll just tell you... 14. Yes, that's fourteen bananas! I have a lot of bread making coming up!

This is nearly enough bananas to make 5 loaves of banana bread. I have to say that my Mom's recipe is THE BEST ever! ... the "secret" ingredient makes it the best. What is the secret ingredient you are wondering? OK, I'll just tell you because I know I can trust you with the secret... It's chocolate chips! I know, I know, you would never have been able to guess that. YUM!
SO... here is the part that will interest you. Would you like one of these loaves of banana bread with the secret ingredient? All you have to do is click on the comment section and let me know that you would like one. The first five people will each get a special loaf of bread! That's all you have to do. Yes, you out of town people can participate too. You may have to wait until the weather cools a bit though or it will be a chocolaty mess by the time you get it.

So, go ahead, the first 5 people get them!

PS... Aren't you glad this wasn't about softball???
