Timmy: What is it, teacher?
Teacher: What do you think it is, Timmy?
Timmy: (Shrugging) I dunno. Roadkill?
Teacher: (Rolling her eyes) Very funny, Timmy. Anyone else wanna' take a guess?
Susie: Is it an animal of some kind, teacher?
Teacher: (Scoffing) Okay, if you're all going to be a bunch of smart alecs, I just won't bring treats in anymore!
Timmy: (Surprised) That's a treat? You mean we're supposed to eat that?
Timmy starts gagging.
Teacher: All right, mister. That's enough! It's banana bread!
Timmy: That's banana bread?
Teacher: Well, of course it is! I had a little trouble with it. It didn't come out so pretty, but banana bread is not the easiest thing to make, you know.
Timmy: My 5-year-old sister makes banana bread and it looks better than that!
Timmy begins gagging uncontrollably now.
Teacher: Timothy Thompson! If you don't stop that this instant, I'll send you off to the principal's office!
Johnny: Uh...teacher? I don't think he's playing around.
Timmy proceeds to vomit all over the classroom floor. Suddenly the rest of the class is vomiting uncontrollably.
OKAY...so my sister has been telling me for years that banana bread is the EASIEST thing to make and she's taught other friends to make it and it's all turned out great. Just great. So I find myself with four bananas that seriously need to be made into bread or thrown away and I'd rather not waste, so I figure here's my big chance to make banana bread. I ask her for her recipe, which is super easy and straightforward and yet I end up with the above picture and it's completely inedible. HOW?!?!?! Is it my oven? Is it just a bad oven? I was spoiled in Queen Creek. I had a gas stove and gas oven. They were so efficient and everything cooked up perfectly. Since I've lived in this home with the old stove and oven, I often can't cook a chicken casserole, pancakes absolutely will not work out. It's gotta be this oven and stove. GRRRR!!!!!
