I am bananas but have no recipes
In the Whitby Gazette Jacqui Carter (no relation) writes: Banana bread help I would be grateful for your readers’ help as I have lost my banana bread recipe; I have bananas but no recipe. Can anyone send me one and a bread and butter recipe. Poor, naive, Jacqui Carter (no relation), believe me when I say you will receive no help from the wicked inhabitants of Whitby, for Whitby is an accursed town of the damned . Loyal ADC readers, on the other hand, are nice people known for having jugs of Christmas spirit. I'm betting they can find it in their hearts to give Jacqui Carter (no relation) a banana. Send bananas to: Jacqui Carter 101 Millbrook Avenue, Middlesbrough TS3 9EA, UK
