RigerousHonesty&Knock-OutBananaTempera

There have been times when I savored something in a restaurant and thought, I can make a better version of that dish. Last week, I was at my favorite Sushi diner. I would never attempt to make Sushi. I will leave that to the experts but I decide to have Banana Tempera for dessert. I was curious to find out what it was. It's simple. Cooked banana covering in whipped cream, drizzled with chocolate with a couple of maraschino cherries tossed on top. Easy Peezy........ I can make that at home.

Yesterday evening, I decide to do just that. I drove to the store. I noted that there were a few folks not wearing masks. The sign on the store indicated that the mask mandate is no more although social distancing is encouraged.

I forgot the maraschino cherries but there was a deal of buy two whipped creams and get a one pound box of strawberries. I purchased the needed ingredients along with a few other miscellaneous items.

The cashier rung up the purchased, placed the in my reusable bag. Afterwards, I noted a single banana and two plantains still in the cart. OMG! I apologized and we started a second transaction. "I am sure glad I found them BEFORE I got to my car." Last week, i inadvertly left a bottle of French dressing and had to go back into the store, stand in line and pay for the darn thing. I did have to confess to the cashier that there were a few times when I had done something similar and just tossed the item into the bag and went home. No excuse, I was just tired and wanted to be home.

However, NOW that I have the Covid Vaccine - the word is that the FBI has installed microchips into the them so they can listen to my every misdeed. Mostly they will be bored, but I would not like going to jail over some ill gotten plantains.

Truthfully, I prefer living a life with integrity and honesty but I do on occasion fall short.

The Banana Tempera that I made at home was not as pretty as the one that I purchased at the Sushi Diner but it was just as yummy.

It is actually very easy and inexpensive to make and doesn't have the multitude of sins that most desserts do.

Does it have a coating on it like the tempura veggies do? I like strawberries and bananas together and often slice a banana to add to my strawberry shortcake.
PS... I have a little vial of WV coal just like the one in that picture.

I must give that Banana Tempera a try, without the chocolate for me though. Sounds rather tasty.
