Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 c Butter
2 c Granulated Sugar
4 Eggs -- beaten
6 Ripe Bananas -- mashed
2 ts Baking Soda
1 t Salt
2 c All purpose Flour
1/2 c Macadamia Nuts chopped

In a bowl cream the sugar and the butter well until a light lemon color.
Then add the squashed bananas and the beaten eggs. Stir well until all
ingredients are completely mixed. Sift the flour, the salt and the baking
soda into the creamed mixture then add the chopped nuts. Again mix until
blended but make sure you do not mix the batter too much. Pre heat the oven
to 350 degrees and when the oven is up to temperature pour the batter into
two prepared loaf pans and bake for 45 minutes. Before my wife died she
often watched while I was making a mess in her kitchen doing my imitation
of a bakery chef. She said that the Kona Inn Banana Bread should be renamed
Garbage bread because I never stuck to the recipe and added all sorts of
thing that I found such as any kind of chopped nuts, lemon and orange zest,
chopped apricots, chopped mango, coconut flakes and one time I even added
some mincemeat that was left over after baking some mince pies. Perhaps the
Kona Inn should have taken me to court and forced me to stop making changes
to their Banana Bread. Perhaps my use of their name for the resulting
strange flavored versions of their Banana bread had something to do with
their going out of business some years ago.
