Banana Pudding
Story
This recipe is one that brings back a very happy childhood memory. When I was a little girl, every Sunday, I would cross the old country road that we lived down to join Mr and Mrs Freeman for lunch along with their 9 grandchildren. The Freemans didn't have much money but Sunday lunch at their house was so memorable. No matter what was cooked for lunch, whether it was basic Chicken and Rice or Ham and greens, lunch always ended with Mrs Freeman's delicious Banana Pudding. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I was a little girl!:)
