Anything Bread

This is a great recipe if you've got anything you need to use up. It was posted some time ago, on the FoodWine list, and I finally got around to trying it a couple of weeks ago, when I had some bananas which were way past their prime. I used raisins instead of nuts...still trying to figure out a good crunchy substitute for the nuts in recipes.
