"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Finally a banana bread that actually tastes like bananas. I tried many recipes over the years, and this one truly delivered. My take on the recipe is as follows: I combined the shortening with the dry ingredients, with my hand mixer, until the mixture was fully combined and made a fine crumb. I also used 3 medium sized bananas and and 1/2 cup chopped nuts.
