Chocolate Banana Bread


Lilly makes the best banana bread. She made a loaf for our neighbors across the street today. They are coming back today from vacation. They went to Hawaii last month and brought us back a box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts.
Here is the recipe:
Chocolate Banana Bread
3 bananas
1 egg beaten
½ cup sugar
2 tbsp melted butter
1 teasp baking soda
½ teasp. Salt
1 teasp. baking powder
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 to 1 ½ cups flour

Mash bananas w/fork. Stir in eggs. Stir in melted butter. Stir in dry ingredients. Fold in nuts and chips. Bake 1 hour at 350.

Rexford is still not feeling the best. He has been able to get all of his school work done though. He doesn’t complain about not feeling good. He hasn’t gone to TKD all week. Testing is next month. He will be testing for his brown belt. 2 test away from black belt.

Rex is looking into taking Wing Chun. A guy from church might take the classes with him. I guess people at church are always trying to copy us..hehehe:) It is nice to have friends involved in the same activities you are interested in.

My mom went to the dentist today. She gets nervous anytime she needs to go to a dentist, doctor etc. She wondered if God would punish her at the dentist for something she has done in past. Spoken like a true ex-romanist. The superstitions you learn as a child sometimes are hard to get rid of. Your world-view is skewed and only God’s truth can open your eyes, even when you know the truth, those thoughts can enter your mind. You have to say “STOP, get out of my head!” (is that lyrics to a song?)

Rex’s parents are coming tomorrow to spend the weekend with us. We are sure to have a funtastically good time. Good thing about company…clean clean clean…know what I mean:)

We, Rex's parents, Bob and Jeanne, did have a very fun time when we visited. Sorry that I didn't make the comment right away. I have a couple of bananas so will try your recipe, Lilly. I know that it will not be quite as good as yours for you have a wonderful way with that recipe. I remember your muffins from our visit!

Love, Grandma Jeanne
