my banana pudding pie

[newoldglory]

Some folks say that I will eat out of a dumpster. :shock: As a teenager, I traveled around the state working the crops and new where every packing house was, always free food. So what is the problem? I eat better than millions of people around the world! If it looks right and smells right, then it is as good as anything they eat. I got some banana's the other day that were greener than green. I was sure that they would not ripen but kept them anyway (just in case). Sure as snuff, one week later, they ripened and quickly went into the bio degradable mode. They were pure sugar. I don't know how many years ago it's been since I've had banana pudding pie but this was a do or die mission. I barely had a clue but if a woman can do it, surely I could. I scanned the isles at the grocery store and found some pudding stuff and read the instructions and soon came up with a plan. Milk, vanilla wafers, banana's and this pudding stuff. I bought every thing right then so that I would have it all. It took 4 days of torcher waiting on these store bought fruits to reach that spotty look and smell. I got up in the middle of the night and decided it was the right time. I jumped in with all 4 feet and was on a roll. But, I forgot to cook the thick stuff (pudding). Just as well though, that stuff sets up as fast as concrete. In my memories, I thought that my mother had put the pie in the oven for a spell. (apparently not necessary). But I did anyway just in case it needed to cook. 30 minuits @ 350 then set out to cool. Back to bed. Banana pudding pie for breakfast!!!!! (and coffee). A huge success! An 8x12 pan full and I bet it won't last till bed time, (even if I have to stay up late). I may be sick of it tomorrow but these treats only come around once in a while. By then I will be ready for another round. :lol: :lol: :lol:

:usa:

My late mother in law used to make that treat all the time. She would put old banana's in the freezer just in case company would come by and she could whip it up in no time!! Good eatin for sure. Those who lived through the Great Depression learned to make everything count and throw nothing away.

It it all I say!!

My Mom made something similar, always in a particular baking bowl, which I now have.
It was layers of sliced ripe banana's, vanilla wafers, and banana pudding ( made on the stove).
An egg and sugar ( I think) 'merang' was whipped up and formed a thick cap on top.
Then it was cooked slowly in the oven. Absolutely insanely delicious. I bet I ate a ton of it growing up.

That's what I missed, the meringue. It is egg white and sugar and it was whipped up by
hand. Back to the store. Maybe cool whip? I have arthritis now and need to save my right shoulder for frogging. :toothy7:

Man, that is good stuff.
For the meringue, add a little cream of tartar and don't use a plastic bowl. Make sure the bowl is oil-free and dry.

My mother in law did it without the fancy meringue, after a few cocktails what does it really matter. The easier the better.
No cook pudding....no one will know the better in my opinion.
