  As requested by those attending the DC Qfest .... The "Banana Salad"
  
  My wife's recipe is simular to the one in Smoke & Spice, page 346.
  although she did not get hers from the book, it used to be her
  grandmothers.
  
  Serves six. In a small, heavy sauce pan, combine the sugar, egg yolk,
  and vinegar. Warm over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar
  disolves and the mixture thickens. Remove the heat and mix in the
  Miracle Whip.
  
  Combine the bananas and peanuts in a large bowl. Spoon the dressing
  over the salad and mix well. Top with additional peanuts if you wish.
  The salad is best eaten within a couple of hours.
  
  My wife always makes up a big batch of dressing and uses what she
  wants for a given salad and stores the left over dressing in the
  refrigerator. It will hold good for one or two weeks. If you can keep
  the kids out of it, it may last a day or two. When traveling she
  takes the dressing (in a cooler), nuts and bananas with her and mixes
  it up just before eating. It take no time to make the salad. Ummmmm
  good too.
