      Yield: 1 servings 
  
      1 c  Butter                              2 ts Baking Soda 
      2 c  Granulated Sugar                    1 ts Salt 
      4    Eggs; beaten                        2 c  All purpose Flour 
      6    Ripe Bananas; mashed              1/2 c  Macadamia Nuts chopped 
  
  In a bowl cream the sugar and the butter well until a light lemon color. 
  Then add the squashed bananas and the beaten eggs. Stir well until all 
  ingredients are completely mixed. Sift the flour, the salt and the baking 
  soda into the creamed mixture then add the chopped nuts. Again mix until 
  blended but make sure you do not mix the batter too much. Pre heat the oven 
  to 350 degrees and when the oven is up to temperature pour the batter into 
  two prepared loaf pans and bake for 45 minutes. Before my wife died she 
  often watched while I was making a mess in her kitchen doing my imitation 
  of a bakery chef. She said that the Kona Inn Banana Bread should be renamed 
  Garbage bread because I never stuck to the recipe and added all sorts of 
  thing that I found such as any kind of chopped nuts, lemon and orange zest, 
  chopped apricots, chopped mango, coconut flakes and one time I even added 
  some mincemeat that was left over after baking some mince pies. Perhaps the 
  Kona Inn should have taken me to court and forced me to stop making changes 
  to their Banana Bread. Perhaps my use of their name for the resulting 
  strange flavored versions of their Banana bread had something to do with 
  their going out of business some years ago.
