Default Help with bananas!

I just found out this morning that I need to make a lot of banana bread for a baby blessing on Sunday. What is the fastest way to ripen bananas? The bread is just not as good if they are fresh bananas.

"...the fastest way is to put the bananas in a paper bag on the countertop with an apple. Why? Apples emit ethylene gases, which cause certain fruits (like pears and bananas) to ripen faster. Starting with green bananas, paper-bagging them should give you ripe bananas in a day and perfect bread-ready bananas in a day and a half."
