Try It, You'll Like It!

Last night I made banana pudding.
Well, actually three nights ago I made banana pudding.
From scratch.
And it was so gross I almost barfed cried.
So I gave it to the chickens and to be perfectly honest, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they only ate it because they didn't want to be rude and hurt my feelings.
I followed the directions to a tee, but I don't have a double boiler so I improvised and put a pot on a pot and the pot boiled but the pudding didn't set it just turned grainy and gross.
So I bought some instant banana pudding and tried again and oh. My. GAWD.
It was sooooo good!
here's what it looked like before we got the giant spoon in it...

And here's what it looked like after I got the giant spoon out again and dished some up for breakfast...

I know you're going to think I'm just making this up, but I have never ever in my whole entire life had banana pudding.

I've seen it at potlucks, but the bananas are always brown and oogy so I've never taken any.

Well, that will teach me to judge a dessert by the color of it's contents.

I can not believe I have lived twenty-ninesomething or more years without ever eating banana pudding.

I have a LOT of catching up to do.

I am still working on this rag quilt.

The Imperfect Homemaker didn't take this long and she says right there in the title of her blog she's imperfect and it still didn't take her three weeks to finish her "easy" rag quilt.

Remember I cut out all my red squares...

Then I cut out all my fish squares...

Then I cut out all my batting squares...

Then I x'd all my red squares, fish squares and batting squares together...

Then I sewed those squares together into lines...

And now I have to sew more lines...

And then I have to sew all my lines together...

And then I have to cut it all up and make it look easy fast and raggy.

Don't say it.

So this is where I am so far...

Remember, I'm using sheets for my first one because I'm STILL learning.

My fancy sewing sister sent me a rag quilt christmas kit and I thought "oh that's so nice, a kit".

Like summer camp quilt kit.

Wrong.

It's more like a Betsy Ross or some other professional sewers chiristmas quilt kit.

You know, like something they'd work on in between baking quiches and building log cabins.

Whatever, I'll get to work on that as soon as I finish my Goodwill sheet bin fish quilt and banana pudding from a box for breakfast :)

Peas.
