That would be great, mary. I really appreciate it.

I would've made it from scratch but I am still working on cleaning out my pantry and I had one box mix left and thought it was the perfect time to finally use it up.

I've never had that happen to me. Bummer, because bannana bread is heaven.

Gosh I haven't made a banana bread for quite some time. It sounds really good right now. Anyhow about your situation I think you might have put to many bananas. Or not sure if this is a myth but I heard that if you vacumn while you are baking that the vibrations do soemthing to the cake or breads. I personally haven't had this happen but then I don't vacumn while I am baking. Has anyone else heard of this?

I've heard of that as well. Sort of an old wives tale but yet it can be true. I was brought up where you didn't even walk in the kitchen until the cake was done so that you don't cause it to fall. Maybe it was just a way to keep everyone out of the kitchen so that the cook/baker could get their work done. Never touch the bread dough that is rising in the bowl until ready to punch down either. Still today - no one can walk in the kitchen until the cake is out of the oven in my house. Old habits I guess............

My mom is that way about cakes too, Mama. I'm not too worried about it at my house though.... I just tell everyone that if they want some cake/bread/brownies/whatever I'm baking they have to stay out & keep the baby out while the oven is on. Once its off, they can come in. I have been known to 'forget' to tell them when I turn the oven off so I can have some of the cookies or whatever before they come in & eat them all. LOL
