Banana Bread and “Hello Dolly” Candy

But you know, I do love something sweet after supper. That’s my weakness, sweets! But good gracious, they are so good, with a big ole’ glass of ice-cold milk. Pie, cake, pudding, shoot, even an ole’ bag a M&M’s are hard to beat in a pinch! I tell you, I used to love to chase the girls, but anymore about the only way I’d chase one, is if she had a homemade chocolate chip in her hand! That heifer’d be in big trouble then! Why don’t we make something sweet today? Thank Shelley Mae, once more…
