| 1 | In a bowl cream the sugar and the butter well until a light lemon color. |
| 2 | Then add the squashed bananas and the beaten eggs. |
| 3 | Stir well until all ingredients are completely mixed. |
| 4 | Sift the flour, the salt and the baking soda into the creamed mixture then add the chopped nuts. |
| 5 | Again mix until blended but make sure you do not mix the batter too much. |
| 6 | 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. |
| 7 | Before my wife died she often watched while i was making a mess in her kitchen doing my imitation of a bakery chef. |
| 8 | 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. |
| 9 | Perhaps the kona inn should have taken me to court and forced me to stop making changes to their banana bread. |
| 10 | 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. |
