Introspection and Banana Cream Pie
So for LK’s weekly challenge, I chose banana cream pie for Sir. I started by checking with his family if there was anything that he just couldn’t get enough of as a kid with a family recipe and there was none. So I know he really enjoys banana’s but I absolutely hate them and don’t like them in the house because they sit. (Yes selfish. I hate wasting money and I guess as a kid I would eat bananas non stop and made myself sick of them).
I chose a made from scratch banana cream pie recipe. Well it was truly made from scratch haha, and I had my lesson in the pesky ‘P’ word. It started by not having enough butter, thankfully I always have a back up margarine froze, and forgot eggs and had to run to the store. I melted my food processor and so had to finish mixing the crust dough by hand. Started boiling the milk and other ingredients and while finishing the crust boiled over the custard mix. Burned my finger while moving the stove grate to clean up the boiled over mess. In the end I had to turn up my oven as it wasn’t cooking the crust properly. With all these trials I learned to have a bit more patience. I would usually blow up and have an emotional melt down and through it all I didn’t. I fell back onto the lessons that I have learned here. 🙂 I also realized how much of a perfectionist I am and will continue to work on that.
Even though Sir figured out what I was making, I’m excited for him to try it tonight and tell him him the reason. 🙂
Thank you for this wonderful challenge and thank you to Mrs. Blue Eyes too. 🙂

I’m beginning to think the “P” word is the arch nemesis of all subbies everywhere! Those lessons, though tough, are good for us. I got frustrated for you just reading your post. I’m sure he loved the effort and the pie.

Thanks Mrs. Blue Eyes. To top that night off, I went to make the whip cream and after 20 minutes of beating it on high and not firming up, trying to put in cornstarch, sugar and vanilla and I went to the garbage and re-looked at the container. I got half and half instead 🙁 Well I asked if Sir wanted his pie without whip cream and he said No and asked why no whip cream. I was near tears at this point and he started laughing at me which just made the tears fall. He loved that I had tried my hardest to make this for him and he thought it was great and that we could get whip cream yesterday. So we went to the store and got the whip cream and he had his pie last night. He said it was the best he had ever eaten 😀 but that next time he wanted me to make one that I would eat as well. Sir also forgave me for all my selfishness I had shown before we started our D/s-m. This was a great exercise and I look forward to more.

I’m glad that he reacted the way he did. That was perfect.
