Mr. Min's Banana Bread

This is, by far, the best banana bread I've ever had. Thanks to Congress.man McCarthy's Chie.f of Staff for passing it along, after I hounded him for it for weeks.

dry stuff
baking soda - 1 tsp
flour - 2 cups
brown sugar - 1 cup
salt - 1/4 tsp

wet stuff
very ripe bananas - 3
eggs - 2
butter - 1/2 cup

optional
chopped walnuts - 1/2 cup

1. preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. mix all the dry stuff together
3. mix in beaten eggs, butter, and mashed up bananas one by one into the dry mix, probably in that order. i usually mix in 3/4 of the walnuts into the mix.
4. pour mix in greased loaf pan (i usually put remaining 1/4 of the walnuts on top) and then bake for at least 45 minutes... it took me 75 minutes the last time. you know it's done when the toothpick comes out clean
