banana pudding.

now, as a good southern girl, i could probably make banana pudding in my sleep.  it's one of the few southern belle things i can accomplish (along with delicious sweet tea, but not including anything that needs to be fried).  chris bought all the stuff to make it, but the bananas he got were already close to being really ripe, and he kept forgetting to make it.  we decided last night he needed to make it or else those bananas were off to meet their maker.  

and of course, we forgot about it.

so i made it today.

again, i know how to make a banana pudding.  my problem is i get sort of artsy with it.  i like to have a clear bowl so you can see all the pretty layers.  so my pudding has a vanilla wafer border, a vanilla wafer daisy and a crushed vanilla wafer bed to rest on (i couldn't very well decorate with the broken ones until they were crushed into powder).  i also have a vanilla wafer bias, so the vanilla wafer to pudding ratio is probably a little off. . .

lookit mah puddin'!

with it's beautiful puddin' layers.

as you can tell from this photo, my pudding was too big for my bowl.  a little way too big.  but that did mean i got a delicious pudding snack,  since if i would have poured anymore in, it would have exploded.  i'm sure it's still delicious though, regardless of how it looks.

in other foodie news, my tummy is still full and sad from mexican food yesterday.  i didn't really think that meal would fill me up all day, but it totally did.  and when i put lunch in it today, it was kinda sad.  D:  oh wells.
