Brief update on Cinco De Mayo. The potluck was very nice. I had a nice plateful of various Mexican type casseroles. The caramel pie with bananas went over very well, I didn't have to bring a darn thing home. The pharmacist tracked me down after lunch and asked for the recipe for the banana pie. When I told about the slow cooker and the rest of the recipe to him he was dumbfounded. You mean I can cook the canned milk in crock pot and store the cans on a shelf? Then we got to talking recipes and he mentioned a cookie recipe he had seen demonstrated with cajeta used as a filling. I'm thinking THUMB PRINT COOKIES and I better go purchase some more canned sweetened condensed milk.

Caramel pie with bananas, aha. A "cold" pie, yes? You use something like this?
Congratulations to your successes. :)
Yes the pie is cold but can stand to come up to room temperature, it has a very thick caramel pudding like consistency. My whipped cream "melted" fairly quickly.
And yes you could use a tart pan and I would make a pastry crust instead of the graham cracker crust at the pastry crust won't crumble into bits. Retro

Pan, yes. Crust, yes. As in Crusty the snowman or something.
The rest of these words ... :)

Is this "mago" a friend?
Mago reads my blog and we blog a lot at First Nation's blog. We are also playing the silly word verification game.
The word on this particular blog is
"Parvi" we must then provide a definition. Parvi: the art of painting henna on hands and feet in Peru, Parvi.
Is this "Richard" a lumberjack?
Richard is my slightly young brother. Sorry to take so long to answer this blog but I couldn't find it for a while.

One more thing regarding whipped cream. I am going to try a container of mascarpone cheese whipped with a cup of cream. I think that will hold up nicely to the caramel pie. Next time I make one will probably be for Christmas potluck. Retro
Be careful with the Mascarpone, its made from "Kalbslab" - can not translate this - but generally it is very delicate - as in "damage-able" (if this word exists). It is not allowed to be too old and I think it has difficulties with temperature. And speaking of mascarpone Tirmisu at least must be mentioned, here raw eggs are used, so better trust the cook.
If I meet your younger brother again I will greet him with a hearty "Hello Sailor!" :)
I will gently use my electric hand mixer to incorporate the Kalbslab into the etc. T'will be delish!
