Today was a slow day at work, so bored as I was I thought about what I could do to pass the time. Yes, my dishes needed to be washed, and I still haven't quite started spring cleaning yet, but really where's the fun in that?! So, I pulled out my handy-dandy cookbook and found another recipe that was calling my name...
Banana Cream Pie. I have been in a banana mood lately. I made everything from the crust to the whipped cream from scratch. My cookbook made "fluting" the crust look so easy, but for the life of me I could not get it to look just right. Being that it was my first time making this, I was a frantic mess around the kitchen trying to do everything at the same time. I had a lot of fun though! Cleaning up the mess afterwards was a different story. My pie could've passed as a Villiage Inn pie, it was that good!
This was my fluting at it's best lol
I soaked the top bananas in fresh lemon juice then added a bit of lemon peel on the top. It was delious!
I had so much extra filling, so I used a graham cracker crust I had on hand to finish it up!
After work Dan and I headed down to Payson for my sister's 17th
birthday party. It was a lot of fun, but I have not been around high-schoolers for many years, nor do I want to be...please tell me I was never that loud or immature lol!!! We played Catch Phrase, Heads up 7 up, and a bunch of other games. My sister got some new Nike tennis shoes. They are so cute! Here are some pictures of the fun :)
