special treat

Those mini banana cream pies were dessert tonight while we watched some basketball (go UCONN!). Rob spent the evening making pie crust, custard, candied bananas... to make the most amazing dessert... just because I asked... sigh. They were so tasty, so unexpectedly flavorful, think cinnamon and nutmeg custard not the vanilla/fake banana pudding I thought they would have at the base... (when I mentioned this to Rob he said, "did you read the recipe before you asked for these? Sheepish...) you really have to try these. Recipe found here. While we're not eating the spoils of Rob's kitchen adventures, we managed to get a closet cleaned, some words with friends games started (the waiting in that game kills me...), some papers graded and some pictures of fabric taken. Such a lovely, quiet and treasured weekend so far... I hope you are enjoying these days as much as we are!
