Bananarama

I don't know how we got on the subject of banana pudding but for some reason, Sunday afternoon, Shawn and I were musing about different restaurants that had banana pudding and which one had the best.  Shawn asked if I had a recipe for the old fashioned banana pudding.  I whipped out my trusty Better Home and Garden's cookbook which may not has the best but reliably has good basic recipes and found no banana pudding recipe.  Perplexed momentarily at the lack of banana pudding, I recovered and reached for my standard Southern Living.  And behold banana pudding in all it's homemade custard finest.  I even managed a pretty decent meringue.It was really good but really rich.  Even though there was only 1 and 1/3 cups of sugar, just a tiny portion went a long way on the sweet tooth.  We're nowhere near having finished it all.
