 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  3                    Bananas, very ripe
  1       C            Sugar
    1/2   C            Shortening (butter)
  2                    Eggs
  3       T            Yoghurt or sour cream
  2       C            Flour
  1       t            Baking soda
  1       C            Walnuts, chopped
                       Rum, vanilla, or amaretto
                       -(optional)

 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Cream the shortening and sugar.  Mix in
 the bananas.  Mix in the remaining ingredients.  Pour into a greased loaf
 pan. Bake 1 hour 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees F.

 NOTES:

 *  This recipe is from my friend Ayalla -- It makes a heavy, but moist,
 loaf of banana bread.

 *  If you use more than 3 normal-size bananas, I suggest that you lower the
 oven temperature and cook for a while longer.  Otherwise, the crust comes
 out almost overcooked while the middle remains moist and almost
 undercooked.

 : Difficulty:  easy.
 : Time:  Preparation:  10 minutes; baking:  at least 95 minutes.  Allow
 some time for cooling.
 : Precision:  Approximate measurement OK.
