Banana cream pies and blueberry muffin scented candles






Oy vey, this challenge is driving me a little bananas here. 
Speaking of bananas, let me tell you that I have never tried banana cream pie after seven years of living in the U.S. Is that weird? I think I've tried everything else in the book except for this one special pie. I don't know where the heck I got the idea that I had to taste this odd thing but I randomly Googled it and when I saw just how luscious it looked, I thought JEEZ Louise I really do have to try this baby. Naturally, I didn't bake it myself. I asked my kind mother to do it for me so that this whole process went swimmingly AND so that the pie didn't end up looking like a swamp. My only task here was to mix the ingredients, drool over everything and lick a few spoons here and there, just to so that they'd be easier to wash. Why else would I lick them, you know? It's not like the custard was blissfully delicious or anything.

Useless & juicy buys of the day:  little vase and blueberry muffin scented candle. Yum-O!

That pie looks amazing. I dont think we have it in the UK tho it looks pretty much like a cross between banoffee pie and lemon merange pie would I recon pretty much equals the most amazing pie ever!xx
