In this post, she's wearing a dress my mother-in-law bought her a full size larger in the hopes that it will last for 2 seasons.

My son is a preacher and one of his church members made it for him,and he gave me the recipe.. They called it banana carmel pie.lol<br /> anyway, They boiled the sweet condensed milk in the can, just immersing it in water. I was scared to death it would explode when cooking.ha But, I have made it several times.. My family loves it.<br /> Thanks for sharing.. I will definitely try putting the milk in the jar.. I would feel much safer.Sew Blessed Maw [Judy]https://www.blogger.com/profile/15474519379303505290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-54539013876901790682013-02-25T21:01:08.776-05:002013-02-25T21:01:08.776-05:00Everything sounds delicious - especially that beau...Everything sounds delicious - especially that beautiful pie.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-55303424466059110272013-02-25T20:45:48.484-05:002013-02-25T20:45:48.484-05:00Thank you for the great idea.

Dahl is one of our regulars- I like a cauliflower and a parsnip version too- both vegetables lend themselves to the gentle spicing.<br />The sultana/raisin addition reminds me of tea with my best friend in the 70's. Her mum was considered an adventurous cook and curry made an appearance every so often- always in a floury yellow sauce, served in a ring of rice with sliced banana and sultanas! <br /><br />We had Banoffee pie over the weekend as eldest daughter had made it in her food tech class (lasagne the week before, chicken curry next week). It's always nicer than I remember- the banana adds a surprising sharpness to the cream and caramel. As an aside, I suspect most British people think Banoffee pie is an American invention, though it actually originates from somewhere rather low key, like Eastbourne.
