I am sooo excited to announce our new blog sponsor Patdo Light Studio. I recently visited Patdo and spent some time in the showroom!! They had a huge selection of Chandeliers and hanging lights but also a bunch of chic tabletop and novelty lamps. I am partnering with Patdo next week to do a complete patio overhaul. Stay Tuned!!! Bon Weekend!!!
Tomorrow is my mom’s birthday and sadly I will not be celebrating with her. If I were, I would definitely make this pie for her. It sounds heavenly and from the reviews..it is insanely delicious!!! Bon Appetit and Happy B-day Mom!!!!
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 2 cups half and half
- 4 egg yolks
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 bananas, sliced
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- In medium sauce pan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Add half and half and egg yolks and whisk until well combined. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute and remove from heat. Stir in butter, and vanilla.
- Pour ½ of the filling into the crust.
- Top with sliced bananas to cover the filling.
- Pour the rest of the filling over the bananas.
- Cover with saran wrap directly on the filling itself to avoiding a sticky film on top.
- Chill for at least 3 hours.
- Top with another layer of sliced bananas.
- In a medium mixing bow,l beat whipping cream at high speed. Gradually add sugar and vanilla. Beat until stiff peaks form. You don’t want them to be soft but you don’t want them to become butter either.
- Spread whipping cream over the top of the bananas and then garnish with a few more slices of bananas. Serve.

Why not get mom a best seller for Mother’s Day? Amazon’s May Spotlight pick is War Light: A Novel by Michael Ondaatje, the author of The English Patient. If you loved the English Patient, I think you are going to LOVE this….
In a narrative as beguiling and mysterious as memory itself–shadowed and luminous at once–we read the story of fourteen-year-old Nathaniel, and his older sister, Rachel. In 1945, just after World War II, they stay behind in London when their parents move to Singapore, leaving them in the care of a mysterious figure named The Moth. They suspect he might be a criminal, and they grow both more convinced and less concerned as they come to know his eccentric crew of friends: men and women joined by a shared history of unspecified service during the war, all of whom seem, in some way, determined now to protect, and educate (in rather unusual ways) Rachel and Nathaniel. But are they really what and who they claim to be? And what does it mean when the siblings’ mother returns after months of silence without their father, explaining nothing, excusing nothing? A dozen years later, Nathaniel begins to uncover all that he didn’t know and understand in that time, and it is this journey–through facts, recollection, and imagination–that he narrates in this masterwork from one of the great writers of our time.
