Recipes Redux

    In my mostly failed attempts at downsizing, and because my dollar day eBay sales have been feeble at best, I resorted to a purging of paper. I did fill most of the recyclable trash container with outdated bills, warranties, receipts, bank statements, etc. (Not that there is any discernible difference in clutter reduction.) I came to a box of cookbooks and  recipes, and ground to a halt.  I'm deciding: Some of our favorite recipes, but will I ever make those dishes again?  Many earmarked but untried recipes; now I have the time to prepare them, but who will eat them?  Better to just throw all those  books and papers into  the trash. But then---"OUR COOKBOOK," a grade-school compendium of recipes from each child in the 5th or 6th grade class.  Browsing through, I came across the most well-worn page: Banana Bread recipe contributed by Warren Waterbury.
     I've baked banana bread many times over the years, using various recipes since this one got tucked away.  So last week I decided to try it one more time.  I did and it came out really well. No one else happened to be here, so banana bread was what I ate for 3 1/2 days.  Today, having nothing else to do, and nothing tasty to eat, I once again retrieved  the Waterbury recipe and made another loaf of delicious banana bread.  I wonder if anybody anywhere ever uses that recipe anymore.
