Domestic bliss… hmmm. It might seem like that’s what we have, but honestly we’re constantly struggling to figure out what works for us, what will make us happier, etc. We have our moments, for sure, and this little site helps us sort things out. Somedays you have banana cream delights, others come with frustrations and disappointments. Laura K, if you’re in NYC, let me know and we can go out for a cocktail and hash it out together!

yes!!! this was a staple of our southern thanksgiving meals.
for some reason, it’s rather hard to find banana pudding these days. vanilla works just as well when you add a few drops of banana extract in.
I actually have the ingredients at home in the cabinet waiting to be whipped up.

We made this as kids in my house – the recipe is on the box of nilla wafers or the pudding. (Just a tip – NEVER read the nutritional info on the nilla wafers)

I have always wanted to ask Angela this.
How do you maintain such domestic bliss?
I would love to know your secret.

Yeah those “white trash”, as my southern mother-in-law calls them are the best!
She makes a pie with jello and cool whip that is out of this world.
