Banana Cake
3/4 cup (1 1/2) sticks unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup chopped dates
2 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons milk
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
Cream together 1 stick of the butter and the granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, then beat in salt and eggs. Into another bowl sift together flour, baking soda and baking powder. Stir the mixture into the butter mixture until it is just combined, and stir in the banana, 1 teaspoon of the vanilla extract, pecans, raisins and dates. Pour the batter into a well-buttered and floured 12 x 9-inch pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in pan on rack.
Cream together the remaining 1/2 stick butter, confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons of the milk and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon milk if necessary to make a smooth icing. Beat in the chocolate, and chill the icing, covered for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until it is of spreading consistency. Spread the icing on the cake.

Banana WindView This Product at Amazon
On this release, Banana Wind, Buffett continues in the light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek celebration of the beach-bum lifestyle that has made him a hero to tens of thousands of his "Parrothead" fans. Combining country-rock and calypso into his signature sound, the singer-songwriter advises all of us caught up in the rat race that we need to "take a holiday, grab a pack, and hit the trail, take a sail, and wind up in some moonlit bay." Early in his career Buffett was able to re-create the tension of everyday life before he released it with considerable gusto in a sun-filled fantasy. These days, however, he seems so out of touch with ordinary lives that he can't build much tension at all, and as a result his songs are so laid-back that they never quite get off the mat. --Geoffrey Himes
Elmo's World - Flowers, Bananas & MoreView This Product at Amazon
Flowers, Bananas & More--so titled, presumably, because Flowers, Bananas & Hair sounds kind of yucky--culls everybody's favorite 3-year-old monster's investigations of those things in a 50-minute tape. The Flowers episode cuts away from Elmo's crayon-filled playroom to follow a real, live boy in his quest to grow a plant. Through Elmo's lively voiceover, we learn that by filling a glass with a paper towel, a bean, and some water you can grow a bean pod, which is just what Elmo does, along with interviewing a friendly cactus and showing us a homemade video of Stinky the Plant, back in his world. In Bananas Mr. Noodle's usual bumbling with the object in question (Is it a telephone? A horn? A pen?) is a barrel of laughs, and we meet Top Banana, a spectacles- and bow tie-clad chap who brings his breed's health benefits to light. Hair, the final segment, is especially enlightening because every manner of the curious stuff shows up for a brief but thoughtful examination. By tuning us in to the Hair Channel, which is featuring a cartoon called "The Kingdom Where Everybody Wore His Hair the Same Way," Elmo leads us to the truth about hair: kinky or straight, short or long, everybody's got it, and what a person chooses to do with it doesn't count for much. Though it's bound to be a repeat for most kids, this is a tape that'll grow on budding botanists, stylists, and Elmo groupies in general. (Ages 3 to 7.) --Tammy La Gorce
Herbie: Goes BananasView This Product at Amazon
This fourth Love Bug movie is a wooden story about Herbie's funny adventures heading toward a race in Brazil. Charles Martin Smith and Steven W. Burns try hard to bring some life into this project, but it just doesn't happen. There is one good laugh in the whole thing, in a scene where Herbie becomes a matador. Otherwise, even the picturesque, south-of-the-border stuff doesn't help. --Tom Keogh
