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!!!!!

I am impressed that you even tried to bake when you did not feel good. I say blame the outcome on the sickness!:)
It HAS to be the oven...because my oven is also a piece of junk...though only 3 years old...and makes a fine loaf of banana bread...lol...hilarious!
Better watch what you say, I was at the airport and saw the People For The Ethical Treatment of Ovens (PETO) booking flights to Arziona.
Sunday Roast was my guess. That is a banana bread diasaster. Once again, you've offered me some comic relief. Your blog is better than Xanax!

I'm totally adding your very cute purple blog to my list. (if I can get it to add people again! It's been giving me so troubles) Oh well, it's great to hear from you.
i don't trust anyone who says making bread is easy - because it is not!!! i swear - i've yet to make the perfect loaf of any type of bread! yeast doesn't work, bread doesn't rise, oven isn't good, kneeded it too much or not enough - i swear there are a hundred things that could go wrong! bread is soooo temperamental, i've given up trying to perfect it and realize it will turn out the way it decides to turn out!
hey you! Thats ok your cant be PERFECT at every thing!!!
So when are you going to come visit me. What I am not your friend any more! Ya I see how it is!
Can you give out the recipe?
LOVE the new blog look...fabulous!
