Banana Nut Bread

I like green bananas.  I like those green bananas that have to sit on the counter for days and days before they turn the slightest bit yellow.  This is probably because I'm an extremely impatient person.  When I was younger and my mom would buy bananas, I never could wait until they turned yellow.  So I developed a taste for them green.  I can't eat them anymore if they're perfectly ripe; they taste like they're rotting to me.  How do you eat your bananas?  I know a lot of people that love to wait until they get really brown..yuck yuck.

Anyway.  So I usually like to eat a banana with my breakfast, but the bananas we had got a little bit funky. They were still green, but they also had a lot of brown, and they tasted like they were already rotting.  Or, well.  Ripening.  So of course, I couldn't eat those bananas, and I still had quite a few.  I made banana bread instead.  I can have ripe bananas in my banana bread.  And boy was it delicious!
