Oh goodness… that looks fantastic! Way to improvise!
Oh you make me laugh! I can remember the days post-moving trying to find my kitchen tools and pans. The movers would fill the boxes by rooms but would shove anything extra into a box that was half full. So my rolling pin might be in with the bathroom stuff and my bread pans in with the computer stuff. Pure craziness! I applaud you for even trying to bake during this time. Your new coworkers are going to think you're the bomb. This looks delicious. (It has rum in it, that's all I needed to know)
Looks delicious! Love the rum!!!
I often think of rum….but not for baking….. 😛
Sounds awesome because there is rum in there. Yum yum! Nice and moist.
is it rum or cognac? the ingredients say rum, the recipe says cognac! I have been searching for new banana recipes and I love this idea!
LOL, Tamilyn, me too!
Erin, you can use either rum or cogonac but me, I prefer rum! 🙂
Mags, I am so glad I can make you laugh! he he.
I hope you are doing well in the new home. I think this is a great recipe to use leftover bananas. Take care and congrats for you new job 🙂
What a great way to think outside the box. It looks like you got something even better out of it than you originally planned. By the way, I'm holding a CSN giveaway on my blog and you're welcome to come by and enter. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2010/11/45-csn-giveaway.html

Cake or bread, love either one! Looks so good with the glaze!
I had seen that recipe in CL as well… your idea looks fantastic! Wish I could sample it along with your co-workers!
Way to improvise, Shelby, and turn on a dime. Whatever you might call it, this cake/bread is calling my name. Bananas and rum are such a terrific flavor combination!
This looks absolutely divine – your lucky co-workers! Glad you're in your new house! Hope you get settled in soon.
Wow, wish I had rum on hand because I too have 6 overripe bananas. AAAAND bananas foster is my favorite dessert!
That looks so good, I am drooling! I am glad you are all moved and moving forward hurray!
Rum is always the right answer! LOL
