My friend Angie has been raving about Emeril's Banana Cream Pie for a while. She had it in Florida years ago and has been hoping to have it again one day. For her birthday, I invited her over for dinner and surprised her with Emeril's Banana Cream Pie. She said, it tasted just like she remembers.All of us agree that it is a phenomenally delicious pie but there were a couple of issue with the recipe that I'd like to point out (notes are in red).Here's the recipe, from WCHSTV:Ingredients 5 large egg yolks 1/4 cup cornstarch 3 to 3 1/2 cups heavy cream 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped 3 cups graham cracker crumbs (This makes a pretty thick crust. I would cut out 1/2 cup.) 1/2 ripe banana, mashed 1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted 3 pounds of bananas, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices (Definitely can't fit this much banana on the pie) 3/4 cup caramel sauce 1 cup Chocolate sauce 2 cups heavy cream whipped to stiff peaks with 1/2 teaspoon pure vani

Christa of PetiteFashionista.comI'll be honest. I never gave much thought to the plight of the petite until I started my second career as a fashion writer. With my ears now open to the shopping needs of women beyond my own circle of friends, I hear the trials of the petite loud and clear... sometimes when I least expect it.Most recently, as I was examining my "rear view" in the three-way mirror at one of my fave local boutiques, the salesgirl clued me into her petite plight. While my most pressing issue was whether the Taverniti So or True Religion jeans looked best, glammy petite salesgirl mused about how lucky I am that I can wear TRs off the rack-- no tailoring of the 34" inseam needed. It hit me: being a petite fashionista is tough!Determined to learn more about finding clothes that are perfect for petites, I invited my favorite petite fashionista on a virtual online shopping date. Christa Jean of the fabulous fashion blog Petite Fashionista is an expert in all things petite. Stand
This baby porcupine (also called porcupet) eats a banana. You'll hear tiny squeaks--those are hiccups!
His mother was killed when she was hit by a car and someone got him to licensed wildlife rehabilitator Gail Buhl. He was orphaned and imprinted on humans and is now living at Wolf Ridge Environment Learning Center in northern Minnesota
A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas. He said the expression "going bananas" is from the effects of bananas on the brain. Read on:
Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!! This is interesting. After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.
Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with
Yesterday’s New York Times reported something that I thought was a bit amazing involving Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez (I’ll get to it below).The focal point of the story was Bushco’s typically wrongheaded demonization of Hugo Chavez in pursuit of a trade agreement with Colombia; though it’s an understatement to say that Chavez has issues, he has managed to achieve a level of popularity with those totally ignored by our executive regime, and Chavez has actually tried to establish warm relations with the same nation we are courting also.As reported by the Times here...Many Democrats have opposed trade deals, even those pushed by President Bill Clinton. The administration hopes to win over enough Democrats to pass the Latin American pacts this year or next. There is, however, considerable disagreement whether the argument of countering Mr. Chávez as a security matter will persuade Democrats.Democrats say that the House speaker, Representative Nancy Pelosi, has warned the a

Banana pancakes drizzled with maple syrupI had the pleasure of staying overnight at a friends place yesterday. Facing the world after a double espresso, I contemplated making some pancakes for my kind hosts thanking them for their generous hospitality. While they were still catching 40 winks, I tinkered around the kitchen finding the ingredients needed for a semi luxurious breakfast. I hadn't cooked pancakes in years and I really wanted to try out a recent recipe scoured from the internet. Past pancake recipes had yielded me rubber discs void of any texture. This time, armed with experience, I made sure no to overbeat the mixture to oblivion. A few bananas lying around provided me the topping I needed along with the organic maple syrup found in the pantry. My hosts were good shoppers so i had everything I needed at hand. Follow this recipe for a fool proof rubber free result.Fluffy and deliciousPANCAKE RECIPE1 & 1/4 cups of self raising flour3/4 cup of milkpinch of salt1 tsp o

Banana Republic Sweater$58.00Through 9/3: $43.50Available at: BananaRepublic.comAlthough I am always up for trying the next big thing in fashion, I also have a soft spot for classic, go-with-anything items. When I find one of those classics that fits just right, I buy in multiples. My most recent classic find? The Cotton/Silk 3/4-Sleeve Crewneck Sweater from Banana Republic.This basic crewneck is incredibly soft thanks to a healthy dose of silk spun in with the easygoing cotton. It also fits just right. The sweater is cut slim and hem is a little longer-- about hip length-- but the sleeves are 3/4 length. The overall effect is of an updated classic. I just purchased the dark brown that is pictured and absolutely love it.

Patricia! In the Swedish calendar, your nameday is on the 16th of April. Did you know that?You know, in Sweden we like to celebrate, not only our birthday but our nameday too. It is an old tradition of attaching personal names to each day of the year in our calendar. The tradition originates from the Christian church calendar. Long ago it was an old tradition to name children after saints.Karin is my first name, and the name is a Swedish short form of Katarina (Katherine), deriving from the Greek word "katharos". Old names have a meaning. This Greek word "katharos" means "clean and pure, free from corrupt desire and guilt free from every admixture of what is false".The week between 19th - 24th of July is called "Fruntimmersveckan", (the Week of Women) because Sara, Margareta, Johanna, Magdalena, Emma and Kristina have name days. Ladies with these names are supposed to be celebrated with a coffee cake.I have made a cake for Kristina. Today, on the 24th of July, it is her nameday. A real
(I know this is disturbing, even by my lax standards – sorry…).Via McClatchy, I have an update to this post from March that told of how Jeffrey Taylor, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, filed charges against Chiquita Brands after the company admitted paying protection money to a Colombian paramilitary group that happened to be on our government’s terrorist organization watch list. The Department of Justice is now conducting a criminal probe into the matter.As noted here (from yesterday - registration may be required)…(Chiquita board member) Roderick M. Hills, who had sought the meeting with former law firm colleague Michael Chertoff, explained that … he knew that such payments were illegal, according to sources and court records, but said that he needed Chertoff's advice.Chiquita, Hills said, would have to pull out of the country if it could not continue to pay the violent right-wing group to secure its Colombian banana plantations. Chertoff, then assistant att

Here's a recipe for a banana bread that my Mom used to make all the time. It's one of my favorites. You can serve slices of it at room temperature or heat them up if you prefer. Sometimes, when I'm getting towards the end of a loaf, I like to crumble it up and sprinkle it over a piece of fish I might be broiling for dinner.Ingredients:1 3/4 cups White Flour2 tsp Baking Powder1/4 tsp Baking Soda1/2 tsp Kosher Salt1/3 cup unsalted Butter, softened2/3 cup White Sugar2 large Eggs, well beaten3 ripe BananasREAD MORE...
Warning! This blog post is probably not going to be worth reading for those who count weightwatchers points :).For generations ice cream has been the perfect ending to a feast meal. Today´s modern industrially-produced ice cream is not associated with feast any longer. However, homemade ice cream is very easy to make. I have a Philips ice cream maker. I must admit, it is usually a "shelf-warmer", which means, I don´t use it that often. But homemade ice cream with fine dairy products can become "a dessert for a king".Banana SplitServes 2 non-weightwatching peopleINGREDIENTS:* 4 egg yolks *from happy hens* 1 1/4 dl (125 ml) sugar* 2 teaspoons * Vanilla sugar* 2 dl (200 ml) whipping cream* 2 dl milk (200 ml)DECORATIONS:* 2 bananas* ½-1 dl (50 ml-100 ml) whipping cream* fruit and berriesMETHOD:1.
