Dinner with Jennie and David. Raisin-walnut bread from Jason, a giant banana pudding from me. The pudding recipe is from Ina Garten and it is really more like a trifle. I should have started it the day before, because I ran into some problems. Part of the base really needed a lot of chilling (time which I did not have), and so when I added it to the whipped cream it refused to whip and deflated. I did not have the time or ingredients to re-group, so I just carried on. She called for regular gingersnaps, but I went with the superior Trader Joe's triple gingersnaps. Also, 6 bananas? I used four. She is definitely a "more is more" kind of cook (I also skipped the additional whipped cream on top, and substituted bourbon for rum). The overnight rest did not happen. Luckily, the final product was delicious! Kind of like a banana tiramisu? I would make it again, for sure. Starting on the previous day.
