Lisa—Thanks!
Memoria—Though, misery loves company, I’m sorry to see you have to go through this. I wish you the best.
Cara—I eat lots of chocolate no matter what my mood
Tracy—Lime curd would be a great alternative.
Julia—Aw, thanks. Maybe we both need to come up with some banana desserts?
Sis—What an offer! I just may show up on your doorstep

So glad you’re back! Maybe a trip to South America with lots of dulce de leche and alfajores can help you… =) Give me a call !

Sorry to hear about your news, but good to see you back – was getting worried!

This looks so amazing. I really love how you have documented all the steps. I especially love how you’ve used bananas here. I typically only think of banana bread when I have bananas on hand. Never think of them used and presented in this way. Fantastic!

Glad to see you back and healing your broken heart. Your lovely tutorials always brighten my day.

I am going to the hardware store tomorrow, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if a propane torch ended up in my basket….

Thanks for the two vols-au-vent. The pineapple looks so tempting. I might try lime curd though — passionfruit ranks with cilantro among foods I’ve tried to like and just can’t. No ambivalence about the chocolate and caramelized bananas though! Mmmm!

I completely have been in your shoes to the reason of your absence and absolutely feel your pain. Eat lots of chocolate, it helps, LOL! I have never tried a puff pastry before, but I may brave the waters and give it a try soon. You break things down very easily to follow!!
