Banana glut

That's so weird knowing someone else has cooked that recipe. I find they produce a nice smell when baking. Moreso than other cakes I make.Use a food processor to mush some up with ice-cream and a little milk = instant banana milkshake... or leave out the milk, do it as fast as possible then refreeze for banana ice-cream.
The oddest thing I ever ate with bananas was a pitta bread filled with very crisp bacon slices and slices of banana, peanut butter spread one side of them and a little grape jelly the other (all inside the pitta, not on the outside of it).. sounds hideous, tastes bloody marvelous.
