I had good intentions of making banana bread to take to a friend who is recovering from surgery. However, once it came out of the oven, it was gone before I could share it. Instead of eating just one slice, everyone, including me, just had to have two. We were still talking about it days later. I had to make another batch for my friend. However, my bananas weren't quite ripe enough, so I read about how to ripen them in the oven. I'll never be worried about buying green bananas again as this technique is easy and magically ripens your bananas.
