Cream sugar and shortening; add eggs, flour, soda, bananas, and chopped nuts. Pour banana bread batter into 1 greased and floured loaf pan; bake at 325° for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. This banana nut bread recipe makes 1 loaf.

worst case you have a new paperweight.

You'd think if you had a problem eating the number of bananas you bought, you'd start buying a few less next time.

That's what I do. Sometimes I put them in the fridge and forget them there for weeks.

the thing about the shake. i'm really bad at judging how much of every ingredient to put in. every time i make a cup of coffee, it tastes different from the last time.

if i were to make a shake with 3 bananas, how much of everything else would i put in?

You can store bananas in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just pop them into a ziploc baggie. When you are ready to make banana bread, just defrost 3-4 and they are ready to be mashed. You can also make banana pancakes by mashing some up into the batter. Then top the pancakes with a few slices of banana and some chopped walnuts.

Smoothie. Put 'em in a blender with some ice and something to sweeten it if you want (e.g. honey, Splenda, whatever). I also add some water or soy milk if I have it around.
