Good Things: Sweet Treat
Had a little more time today, as Pat continues to improve, so I visited some blogs for the first time in several days. It was good to see them again, too. I like going around and seeing how creative cats and their humans can be. If you’re on the blogroll here and I haven’t been by your blog lately, I’m going to try to get there as soon as I can…
In particular, I saw on the Cat Blogosphere Toosday Noos that curly cat Daisy’s sister Pixie was celebrating a birthday, and I stopped by to add our best birthday wishes. Pixie was enjoying all the bananas she received (um, I mean “bananers”), both the real ones and the ones containing catnip. And that led to this…
A baked graham cracker crust, made from the recipe in the 1961 Betty Crocker cookbook at the top left; a pot of whole milk on the stove top with banana cream pudding mix already stirred in; and way over there on the left, a couple of real ripe bananas with brown peels… I think you can see where this is leading…
On one side of the stovetop, I’m stirring the pot, waiting for the pudding to boil; and on the other, sliced bananas lining the crust. You can just feel the anticipation building, can’t you? 
And yes, that’s a couple of cans of Stinky Goodness on the countertop next to an open jar of Baby Chicken…
Finally, the finished product, topped with real whipped cream beaten in a chilled bowl. And at the bottom, my first piece of the pie. (Pat had a smaller slice and gave it her approval.)
It’s real nice to be able to take the time to do something in the kitchen, too…

Wow! Pixie is so lucky to have such nice humans! That looks good even a bit to me and I am not a banana fan.

Bananers. In a pie? WOWIE! I never knew you could make bananer pie before. Next year, I am going to ask for bananer pie for my birthday. I think my Mommie can cook that.
Thanks for your happy birthday wishes. I had the happiest birthday of my entire life!

I am so very very relieved to hear that Pat is doing better. And the pie just looks too delicious.
