Banana Cream Pie


So Kim asked me for some recipes....I gave her the recipe to that NY Cheese cake recipe that everyone seemed like. The directions were fucking long.

Then I typed up this banana cream recipe that I used to have on my computer before it crashed....mother fucker. Anyway....I made it only once, but it was good. I got the recipe from a magazine. This guy in NY bakes cookies and shit for celebrities and normal people too. He only gave us his good recipes, not his secret awesome recipes...but this will do.
