Fashion on Fridays

On the way to church last week, I realized that the plaid in my new winter scarf (on sale costing less than $10) was straight from the Spring Palette:

jester red

pepperstem

toffee

living coral


Just the jump start I needed to get my mind in gear for the coming months ~


PS  Scarves are such an economical way to update the wardrobe.  Stay tuned for another new-to-me color combination.

Spring 2019 Pantone Palatte   (Left to Right)

Top Row
Fiesta (orange)
Jester Red
Tumeric (orange)
Living Coral (color of year)

2nd Row

Princess Blue

3rd Row
Toffee

Bottom Row (Neutrals)

I think I can work with this palette.  I especially appreciate the way Pantone helps me pair colors I ordinarily would not.

Banana Pudding

Combine in blender the following 5 ingredients.


Use low setting to stir.


2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
dash of salt
4 egg yolks (save whites)








Pour liquid into a heavy saucepan or the top of a double boiler (safer).  Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.  Reduce heat and cook stirring occasionally, for five more minutes.  Do not let pudding boil.  Remove from heat.  Add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.

Line the bottom and sides of 1 1/2 qt casserole with a single layer of vanilla wafers.  Spread a layer of vanilla pudding (perhaps 1/2 cup).  Top with a layer of sliced bananas.  Repeat layering (wafer, pudding, banana) three times.  This will take 5-6 medium-sized ripe bananas and a full box of wafer (and all the pudding.)

Beat four egg whites until soft peaks form; gradually add 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.  Spoon meringue on top of pudding, covering entire surface and sealing well to the edges of casserole.  Bake at 425 for 5 minutes or until delicately browned.

Even though this recipe makes 8 servings, I always double it, preparing it in several dishes in order to share ~
