More AA anniversary's, more Banana Pudding!

[BigDave83]

Your AA folks eat well for their anniversary, those milestones need to be celebrated.
Do you take a request or just pick something?

[Bentley]

Request.

[urnmor]

It is very kind of you to do that for them

Given the amount of Alcohol that I drink, I should join AA. It sounds like a neat organization.

[Bentley]

It is the only self diagnosed disease (assuming one believes it is) that I am aware of.

[hughver]

Well, I know that I drink too much, mostly red wine with a good single malt scotch a close second. I drink an alcoholic beverage virtually every night but have not consumed enough to impair me physically or even feel it in over 20 years. 2-3 glasses of wine or 1-2 scotch drinks a night is my limit.

[Bentley]

See, I could not stop at 3, or 9 or 14...That is probably why you are not an alcoholic!

[hughver]

Yeah but drinking every night can't be good for your health, although I've read that a couple glasses of red wine a day is actually good for you. Hey, this is off the subject of the thread but heck, I drink red wine for desert

 I can understand this, I used to say I am going out for a beer or 2 or 10 and it would turn in to 20 or so, mix in a few shots of Jim or Jack and it was as good night, close the bar down, go et an early breakfast at the truck stop, go home sleep 2 hours then et up and off to work. I really liked the taste of the whiskey, and I knew it could become a problem. Also I was working for nothing but alcohol for the most part, I thought how am I going to by car parts and guns if I give all my money to the bar. The people I hung around with were in to the drugs, not really sure what all they were in to, they would offer but I just stuck to my bottle. The amount of money they dropped on that stuff in and afternoon was insane. I told them one day that for the money they just smoked or put up their nose I could have bought a good set of pistons and rods for the car.

 I have known a few that should have been in a program, everyone around it knew they had a problem, but it wasn't a problem to the person until they thought it was. Some times it was to late once they figured that out. I commend all those that realize it and take steps to change it, it can't be an easy thing to go through.

 We have some good orchards down off the mountain to the east, I like to go buy half bushel or so of apples and keep, because I like fresh apples to eat.

  The kind I like, cortland, wasn't ready yet so the lady suggested paula red or zestars. The paula reds looked similar to cortland so I went with them. The lady at the orchard told the GF, yes these would be good for pie, so we made a dutch apple pie, her favorite, last week.  Today was a last minute Labor Day picnic apparently I was having, and I just made up the rest of the apples as I did for the pie and put it in a 9x13 with out a crust.

 She was not fond of the no crust idea, I told her she had a fork only thing the crust is for is if you don't have a fork, the filling is what you are after.

Everyone must have liked it, there was just a small amount left. Even with out the crust.

[Bentley]

Sad to say I forgot the finished shot.  An Apple Pie with what the recipe called a strudel topping!  If you are going to make deep dish pies, maybe time to buy deep dish baking tins!

[BigDave83]

Nice pies, not sure how I missed them. The GF would love them.

[BigDave83]

Had some bananas left that were getting dark. Usually make bread and I think she is tired of the bread so off to Pintrest looking for something else.

Found Chocolate Chip Banana Bars, soft and chewy.

Simple recipe only change I made was the unrefined sugar on top to give it that crunchy crust. The GF likes that, she couldn't wait to get in to these  this morning after I made them,so not shot of the finished product out of the oven.

Pretty good and will make them again, I still have some bananas left I may make a 9x13 pan for her to take to work next week when all the  people come in to the office for their weekly meeting.
