Going bananas!!!

While we were in Hawaii Annie made Erik an apparently stupendous banana cream pie. He's been gushing about it nonstop since then. And since then, he's been asking me to make it. Ummm...I don't like following someone as good of a cook as Annie because I'm always afraid I'll really fudge it up. Well, to cease the nagging there was only one option: make the darn pie. So we found all the ingredients apart from the crust. I had no idea a nilla wafer crust would be so elusive, but what do I know right. After getting some much needed instructions from my AnnieBanannie and the wonderful internet I applied my new found knowledge and had a go at this crust making business. I forgot that while we lived in Hawaii my neighbor never returned my rolling pin, not to worry, I made do without it. I can't believe the crust actually came out semi alright, Erik thinks I have a gift, he's biased so his thoughts don't completely count...lol. Well, the time came to serve it up and what's the verdict you ask? I don't want to say...only kidding, I don't eat bananas so I have to trust the taste buds of Erik, Nick, and Addy who were all too eager to be my guinea pigs!!! They all concurred that it was awesome, but the real reason I believed them was the seconds they devoured and plates they licked clean. And I mean literally licked!!! Yes....I made a keeper!!!! Lesson learned: when making your own pie crust, spray the pie pan before laying out the crust. Presentation was rather hard work since I was barely able get it out of the pan...at least the gorilla was happy!!!
