Recipe Review
Banana Pudding
Southern Living magazine
Ah, one of R's favorites. Banana pudding is one of those desserts that the hubby constantly bugs me over, "When are you going to make me banana pudding?" "Mmmmm, sure would love some banana pudding right about now." Okay, R. Roger. Got it. Noted.
Southern Living must have recognized hubbies' summer needs and included this recipe in a recent magazine. Also met the wives intent with keep it light. Thank you, Southern Living.
I began by making the pudding.
Then you just layer the sliced bananas, (light) vanilla waffers and pudding a few times.
Top is off with some stiffened egg whites.
And bake!
Doesn't it look beautiful?
Then this....
The recipe doesn't say anything about cooling in the fridge. Just says to let it sit for about 30 minutes. I did put it in the fridge for about an hour, but as soon as we sliced into it, the 'pudding' just ran everywhere. What a mess. So we put it back in the fridge and let it sit over night. Clearly the key! Was much better the next day. The taste was totally there, so I will not be discouraged.
Girl likeability - 4
Boy likeability - 4 (the next day)
Ease of preparation - 3.5
Avg 3.8. Cafeteria-style. Totally like momma's cookin', although hers would've turned out much better than mine. Large quantities; great for a family Sunday dinner.

Luray Caverns
My parents came up a few weekends ago for my brother's last summer ball weekend with the Rockbridge Rapids. Rockbridge is about three hours from where we live, so a trip down for a game is difficult to come by. This weekend, however, they were playing in Harrisonburg, about two hours away.
I haven't seen my parents since Christmas 2009. Figured we should spend a little time together for the day. Therefore, we agreed to meet at Luray Caverns prior to the game.
The tour is self-guided with a headset that gives you information on the caverns.
The part of the canern with the Stalacpipe Organ was pretty neat. The video below shows how it works.
After the caverns we headed to Harrisonburg. During inning five it began to rain. Unfortunately the game was rained out, BUT Chris' team walked away with a W.
