Banoffi is banana and toffee, so... it's a pie - made with a pastry base (not crumbs!!) - filled with a creamy toffee goo, topped with sliced banana and cream.

The 'toffee' filling is made by simmering a can of condensed milk, unopened, in water for 4-5 hours, until the sugar in the milk gently caramelises it into a fudgy creamy toffee.

O soooo gooood!!!

This is THE original recipe...from the people who invented it!

PS you can use Dulce de Leche if you are scared of exploding milk cans!!!

H'mmmm. Isn't toffee made with a little coffee in it??? Now now. We don't won't that headache back. Those kiddies need an up and running mommy. Maybe I shouldn't post this but I must. For dessert I was presented with some cheese cake dripping with chocolate syrup. The winds of chocolate made it in tonight. I need to be getting closer to my pillow. See yas tomorrow.

The coffee is optional the idea of it is to give a touch of bitterness against all that sweetness - maybe you could use decaf - or just dig in and looooove the sugar.....mmmmmmm

You are a BAD influence! I had dinner - bbq beef, baked potato, slaw, corn - the works, in fact - but reading the word 'chocolate' has told my tummy it needs some...now.

Very, very bad. Go to bed.

This lovely piece of chuck roast should be ready in about 4-5 hours. I started it at noon with a quick searing and then added my water to cover, some ketchup, garlic and seasonings. I keep it in a 310° oven for several hours to really tenderize it. For the last hour I throw in my redskin potatoes, a large onion- halved, garlic cloves, carrots and cabbage wedges.

Don't you love the flavor of the gravy that comes from a pot roast filling the air with "Come and get it!"

Do you tent it in foil or do you cook it uncovered?

But I found this chicken recipe:

Joan's Drunken Chicken

Place cut up chicken in a shallow baking dish

mix :
1 6oz can of undiluted frozen oj
1/2 cup sherry
1/2 package onion soup mix

pour over chicken. Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour uncovered. While cooking, baste with the pan sauce at least twice.

(I had this as a company meal long ago....it was good! I never have made it)
This sounds quick, easy, and yummy. I am putting it on my list to try. Thanks, Elston! (And thanks, Joan )
