Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Notice there is no temp for the oven or baking time. I have no idea what my Papa was thinking by copying this recipe as he did. He did write to bake it in a moderate oven. What's that?!! That generation just knew how to do things! I am assuming 350 would be fine, and start peeking about 35-40 minutes. All I do know is that this is the best Banana Nut Bread that I have ever eaten, and I really believe that it's because it is so good and not just because I think everything my Papa does is perfect.
