My friend Jana invited me to come have dinner with her family next week. I will be bringing dessert, which will, of course, be a banana cream pie. This dessert has distinctive meaning to Jana's husband, Leigh, who moved here from Australia several years ago. Leigh came to our home on his first night in California, and I had prepared a banana cream pie for the occasion of his arrival. (I offered to smile and make him a Vegemite sandwich but he chose the pie.) And he LOVED it! I made it on a couple of other occasions for Leigh after that and he has mentioned it to me in OH so many conversations since then. It's been a couple of years since I cooked up a banana cream pie and I am delighted to be making one to share with the banana cream pie loving Sarti family.
It's a luscious treat that beats Vegemite anytime.
And I'll be smiling when I bring it to them.

This is one of my favorite pies of all time. I wish thhat I was Austrailian so that I could have a cool accent AND a pie!
