banana bread!!

i have always loved banana bread... its something my grandma (my moms mom) always made for us (along with my most favorite thing in the world--beef chow fun) when my mom used to visit her on fridays...

before this recipe, i used to just use a quick bread mix from the store... which was ok.. but not the best.. ai-chau came over one morning and shared this recipe w/ me and i ABSOLUTELY love it!

the 7 bananas might sound ridiculous, but trust me, it isnt!!! i have made it at least 5 times now. its so easy and incredibly delicious... and my friends keep fighting over it when i make it :)
