Cook's note:
1)  Banana bread is best when made from over ripe bananas, so 
    feel free to use bruised or otherwise undesirable bananas 
    in this recipe.  Likewise, it is okay and encouraged to add 
    1 or 2 more bananas.  This will make the bread moister.
2)  Bread is beast when refridgerated overnight before serving.
