Bana Cream Pie with Mernque(???)

So im so sorry! I havnt been good at blogging! I hope to get better. I made a Banana Cream Pie - lets see...- friday? I think so. Let me tell you! it was amazing!! There was some trouble. I made the pudding first, vanill pudding. This got lumpy - but it didnt matter in the end. then, of course, the pie crust wasnt done, so I had to wait about an hour for that. When that was done , I layered the cream, banana slices, crea, banana slices, and cream again. THen, I made the merangue, wait, no, i made the merangue before the cream. Sorry! Anyways, makeing the merangue wasnt very hard. I made a cornstarch and sugar paste. Then I whipped the eggs with tartar and vanilla. Lastly I put in sugar and then the cornstarch paste. Yummm!! That went on top of the pie (making sure t seal the edges) and I applied it on in peaks everywhere. I then put it in the top rack in the oven... tehe, it wouldnt fit on the bottom even if I wanted it there! So that cooked for ohh.. under an hour maybe? It came out lovely! It had the perfect brown ,and it didnt fall. Normally if the pudding isnt warm when you out the merangue on(which it wasnt) it will fall. But, not for me! It help up perfectly! I am so proud. Im afraid I dont have a picture... we ate it! So that was one of my recipes fo this week. Ill blog some more later!  This recipe was from Joy Of Cooking, 2009  version I believe.
