Recipe
Ingredients:
– 2 to 3 ripe bananas (about 1 cup mashed)
– 1/3 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– A pinch of salt
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) or chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 4×8-inch (10×20 cm) loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mash the Bananas:
– Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash them until they’re smooth. The riper the bananas, the sweeter your bread will be.
3. Add Wet Ingredients:
– Add the melted butter or vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg to the mashed bananas. Mix well until all the wet ingredients are combined.
4. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
– In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Stir the dry ingredients until they are well mixed.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
– Pour the wet banana mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. If you’re adding nuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this stage.
6. Transfer to the Loaf Pan:
– Pour the banana bread batter into the greased or lined loaf pan. Use a spatula to even out the top.
7. Bake:
– Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking times may vary, so keep an eye on it.
8. Cool:
– Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Slice and Enjoy:
– Once the banana bread has cooled, slice it into thick or thin slices, depending on your preference. Serve and enjoy your homemade banana bread!
Pro Tips:
– Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best flavor.
– You can customize your banana bread by adding nuts, chocolate chips, or even dried fruits.
– Store any leftover banana bread in an airtight container to keep it fresh.

The new common language will be more simple and regular than the existing European languages. It will be as simple as Occidental; in fact, it will be Occidental. To an English person, it will seem like simplified English, as a skeptical Cambridge friend of mine told me what Occidental is. The European languages are members of the same family. Their separate existence is a myth. For science, music, sport, etc, Europe uses the same vocabulary. The languages only differ in their grammar, their pronunciation and their most common words.
Everyone realizes why a new common language would be desirable: one could refuse to pay expensive translators. To achieve this, it would be necessary to have uniform grammar, pronunciation and more common words.
