We haven't given the good ol' Worldwide Recipes Groan-O-Meter a good
workout in a long time. Here's a good one from Rosemary Zwick:

A man goes to his therapist to have a dream interpreted. He tells the
doctor that he was dreaming of eating a big meal. A seven course meal.
He started with the soup and was going to move on to the salad next. As
he finished his soup and put his spoon down the bowl refilled itself by
magic. He again finished the soup and again the bowl refilled itself.
Every time he finished the soup and tried to move on to the salad he
could not. He asked his doctor what the hidden meaning was. The doctor's
reply, "It only proves that you can't change courses in the middle of a dream."

Everyone has a favorite banana bread recipe, but how many of them are
fat-free and egg-free? This one is probably a little heavier than the
recipe you use now, but it tastes great.

Fat-Free Banana Bread

6 ripe bananas (the riper the better)
1 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup raisins (optional)

Mash the bananas and sugar together. In a separate bowl mix the flour,
baking powder and baking soda. Add the banana mixture, the optional
raisins, and vanilla, stirring until thoroughly blended. Pour into
non-stick loaf pan and bake at 350F (180C) for 1 hour. Remove from pan
while still warm, and allow to cool before slicing.
Serves 8 to 12.
