dandieandie's Banana Bread

I begged, she sent it to me. And she's also mean to mujer. We love dandieandie.

• 1/2 cup soft butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla (although I'm a vanilla junkie, so I tend to add 1tablespoon)
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (recipe says that's about 3-4 bananas, but I used 5 small ones last time...and when it says ripe, I mean two steps from the grave ripe, like almost black)
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 2 cups unsifted flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (which I never use, but some folks might like 'em)
• cinnamon and nutmeg

In a large bowl cream butter, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. Combine bananas and milk. Mix together flour, soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Blend dry ingredients into creamed mixture alternately with bananas. Stir in nuts and turn into a greased loaf pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg if desired. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool 10 minutes and turn out of pan and cool completely.
