MY SUMMER AND MY FUN CHOCOLATE BANANA DESSERT

You know all of the fun things you look forward to in the spring.........can't wait for summer.........like the green lawn, the smell of fresh grass just mowed.......the sprinkler going, barbeque's in the back yard, sitting outside in the mornings with juice or coffee, flowers blooming, wonderful evenings in the hammock or just lounging on the patio............well...........we missed all of that!!!!!!!  Here it is Aug and we haven't done any of those things!  Bob mowed the grass once, in early spring.  Ours in now brown.  Most people around here live on large parcels of land.  So there are alot of men that make their living mowing acreage........not this year........sigh.  What a disappointing summer.  I worked so hard at planting two nice flower beds........what a joke that was........they are all brown.  So, I guess I am now looking forward to fall........hoping it will be cool for awhile before winter hits.  Sorry.......I just had to vent.

I made this recipe up.  One of my favorites.  It does have an uncooked egg in it........but the way I feel about that is.........for 20 years living in Mexico........where, until just recently, no eggs were ever refrigerated and they all proudly came in the carton with poop attached to most of the eggs........if we survived that.........I think you can make this dessert with an uncooked egg.

First make a chocolate crust with the ground up chocolate wafers and 1/4 cup melted butter OR I see you can buy chocolate crusts already made in the stores.  Anyway, put your crust in the frig while you make the rest. Take a softened cube of butter and mix it with 2 cups powdered sugar now add your egg, dash of salt and mix real well.  Take your crust out of the frig and carefully smear this filling over the crust. Now slice a banana over this filling and sprinkle it with lime or lemon juice.  Take a cup of whipping cream and beat with a little sugar and fold in a drained can of crushed pineapple and if you want, 1/2 cup chopped marchino cherries..........Put in frig a couple of hours.........I think I might enter this one in a contest!
