    Banana Bread Day!

    Today, February 15th, was my beloved (great) Uncle Mac's birthday. He was my Dad's uncle, and retired at least 5 times. One of the jobs he took after retiring was fixing up the buses and tractors and equipment of a nearby dairy farm. They had an Ice Cream Stand, so kept bananas on hand for banana splits. When the bananas got too spotty to use, they would often give as many as he wanted to Uncle Mac, who would take them and make banana bread enough to give away.

    So today, tomorrow, have a piece of banana bread and a cup of tea in his memory! He was a farmer, mechanic, and friend to animals - he'd share his dinner with his cat, who would perch on his shoulder and eat delicately from his fork. His Border Collie, Mollie, could leap six feet in the air to catch a grape. You all would have loved him!

    His recipe is here. I am now allergic to bananas, so cannot indulge myself.

    Hi Karen, I wish I did have a chance to know Uncle Mac, he sounds like a really great guy! Sorry to hear of your allergy. My Mom is extremely allergic to tomato, even a tablespoon of ketchup in meatloaf gets a nasty reaction.

    I love banana bread and, with your permission, I'll have a piece and a cup of tea for you as well as myself.
