Curried Bananas
on November 20, 2010
I’ve been enjoying Thanksgiving with a group of good friends for the past thirty-some years. We all cook, and the various members’ contributions range from the traditional to the exotic. I myself took the yummy prize once with a batch of pumpkin pecan tamales. One year one of our members brought a big bowl of curried bananas, and it was such a hit that we’ve included it in our menu every year since.
Enjoy!
