With a plan for a table full of guests last Saturday night and a nice bunch of perfect bananas on the counter, old fashioned banana pudding seemed a wise choice for the dessert. Light and delicious after a filling comfort meal, it also had the advantage of being made in advance and tucked away to be easily retrieved after our dinners had settled just a bit.
While I often take the easy shortcut permitted by a tub of Cool Whip, I enjoyed using the leftover egg whites from the pudding in order to have a toasted meringue topping. That meringue was just a bit heavenly, if I may indeed say so.
Today is also the anniversary of the 1977 passing of Groucho Marx. As a kid, I could not understand why Elvis's death a few days before generated emergency bulletins but hardly a peep was heard about dear Groucho.
