Two years ago, at about this time, we arrived in Barra de Navidad during what seemed like a stormy season. The sky was filled with clouds and rain fell for the first couple of days. On one of those nights, Marie invited us to the Hotel Sands to celebrate her friend Linda’s birthday.
Tonight we were once again invited to celebrate Linda’s birthday but this time the celebration was being held at Lucy’s restaurant. The event was a pot luck and so it was only fitting that I bring a pie as my contribution to the meal.
To help me put the finishing touches on the pie, I brought Marie’s grandsons, Ke’ale and Pueo, to my apartment. They waited patiently as I whipped the cream and coated the banana slices for the top of the pie. When it was finally done, I asked them to pose with the pie. This is what that looked like:
Tonight’s Chocolate Banana Cream Pie recognizes friends who are like family and the tender threads that hold us all together. And to Linda, Feliz Cumpleanos!
Sweet picture Karen!!! Hope you are enjoying your time away … xo
