One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating. ~Luciano Pavarotti and William Wright, Pavarotti, My Own Story

Food IS love made tangible... it is a gift that meets the needs of the soul as well as the body. I have found that preparing and presenting food with great care is worth the effort....creating an atmosphere that warmly invites guests to linger. As Julia Child said, "Nothing is too much trouble, if it turns out as it should."

The Ultimate Comfort Food
This recipe is from Brad's sister, RuthAnn, and is his ultimate comfort food!
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
2 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla
dash salt
6-8 egg yolks (whip the whites into a soft peaks meringue)
bananas
vanilla wafers
Combine the sugar, flour, salt, yokes and some of the milk in a pan on the stove.
Add the rest of the milk, stirring and heating over low heat initially.
You can raise the temperature, keep stirring, and bring to a boil.
Add the vanilla.
Pour into a large bowl and fold in the meringue.
Pour over bananas and vanilla wafers in a crystal bowl; add cookies around the top.
Refrigerate and eat within a day or two; this should be no problem!
