I asked Rich if this should be under Desserts or Breads and he immediately said, "Dessert. You wouldn't make a sandwich out of it would ya?" So let it be written, so let it be done. As a note, if you don't have sour milk sitting around, you can put a bit of vinegar in good milk to "sour" it.

1 cup sugar 1/2 cup Crisco 1 egg 5 tbs. sour milk 1 tsp soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/2 cup unsifted flour 1/2 cup nuts 2 mashed bananas (preferrably well done, almost brown)

Mix all ingredients and pour into standard loaf pan.

Bake @ 325-350 degrees for one hour (may be less). Be sure to check at 45 minutes or so. If an inserted straw comes out clean, then the bread is done.
