For once, a break.
Bananas were on sale.
It is Sweetie's birthday.
How is that a break?
He doesn't want a cake for his birthday. He wants my home made banana pudding.
1c sugar
4T corn starch
pinch sugar
4c heavy cream
1t vanilla extract
1 stick butter
Cook over very low heat a long time until thick, layer with vanilla wafer cookies and lots of bananas. Top with fresh ground nutmeg. Cover with wrap and hide in the fridge overnight.
It will be gone in one sitting.
