Saturday Snippet: Banana Pudding Pie

Hello everyone!

So my sister can make me do just about anything. Seeing as she's my LITTLE sister, you can probably understand how this happens. This time, it was incessantly begging me to bake a pie. Not just any kind of pie, but banana and vanilla pudding pie.

Of course I had no clue how to do it, and so off to the interwebz I went to get some information. I found a recipe alright (not the one above), but the dough did NOT cooperate so I'm going to give you what I did to make it work.

The dough itself I made from my apple pie recipe; the other dough was left to "rot" although I threw it into the oven for 20 minutes after it had been left alone for hours. I think I might retry the original recipe sometime and leave the thing overnight in the fridge, then bake the next day. Might just work.

Anyway, the only difference in this apple pie dough is that I added rum and vanilla sugar into the mixture (per special request). Then I spread it into the pan (which I first rubbed with some butter) and made a rim.

For the filling, I made vanilla pudding from half the bag (or you can cook a full batch, it usually comes with instructions on the back, follow those to a T and then just take as much as you think you need), mashed three bananas (the original recipe says two, but three is better!) and mixed them in, poured it over the dough, popped it into a pre-heated oven at 175 degrees, and baked for roughly twenty-three minutes, but at twenty I started checking if it was baked. It was, I just left it a little longer since my family likes a slightly more baked pie.

And that's it!

Saturday Snippet: Vacation!

Hello everyone!

I'm off for two weeks tomorrow and won't be back until roughly August 8th, and will be without internet in the meantime. But I'll bring back lots of reviews of books and movies, so don't worry!

Talkie Tuesday: Voyage of the Unicorn

"Credendo vides."

Hello everyone!

I still have a bunch of new movies to watch - and then what do I do? 

I go and dig up a fifteen year old movie to watch instead, that's what!

I'll admit I'm not usually like this, I tend to not watch that many old movies to begin with, but I was organising some of my writing information the other day (this will make sense in a second, I swear) when I came across some old drawings that I did waaaaaaaay back when for my first ever serious fanfiction.

I'm still not making sense, am I?

Besides oneof the illustrations of what turned out to be a battle ensemble, I jotted down 'Miranda - Voyage of the Unicorn', and that got me thinking that I'd probably seen this in a movie somewhere. So I opened Uncle Google up and voila!

Lo and behold, my memory was actually not that faulty: once upon a time, when Hallmark still broadcast in my country, a movie titled Voyage of the Unicorn was on quite a lot.

Saturday Snippet: Christmas Trees

Hello everyone!

This post is going to be kind of short, because, really, what I did today was mostly just a) freeze my behind off outside helping my sister with some stuff for university and b) decorate Christmas trees.

Yes, as in, plural, because we have three.

Well, four technically, but the fourth hasn't happened yet.

Saturday Snippet: Saint Nicholas' Day

Hello everyone!

So tomorrow is Saint Nick's day, and while it may be a Christian tradition, it sort of became a family one here over the years as I was growing up, so it will be a family day spent mostly just teasing each other back and forth (and then ferrying my sister back to the capital as well).

Make sure you've been good! Otherwise, instead of sweets, you'll get a hazel rod!

You'll still be luckier than Don Carlos of Spain in the Reign TV show this week though ...
