Banana Clafouti


I found a nice recipe for banana clafouti that I might try. It's from the Registered Dietitians at Dairy Farmers of Canada. It does call for 4 eggs, but then it must be good!

I took my mom to the doctor's yesterday to renew some prescriptions. It seems the geriatric doctor that she sees is off on sick leave until April! I happened to call to see when her next appointment was. It was supposed to be at the end of January. He's a busy guy to begin with. We're to see the family doctor if medications are required in the meantime. The family doctor is guessing it must be something like a knee injury, nothing too serious. My mom says the geriatric doctor is on the younger side, tall and athletic looking. Our family doctor says he caught the flu in December but got a mild version. He thinks having the flu shot might have diminished his symptoms. Have you, will you have your flu shot?

I had been at the gym earlier on and mentioned to a new friend that I'd be missing my aerobics class due to this doctor's appointment. He said I'm a good daughter and I would see true fulfillment from this as it's something worthwhile, or words to that effect. He seems to be an encouraging, optimistic sort of person. He's out of a job at the moment and trying to network as much as possible to find a new job. His two children are almost finished with their schooling and fortunately his wife is working.

Did get the flu shot,it's rampant here and all over the country.
I've had it before so it doesn't bother me.
Going to try that recipe sounds good.

I made it this morning. I couldn't add lemon juice to the bananas, because I didn't have a lemon. This is a very easy recipe to follow. It tastes like banana custard, but not as sweet. I googled it and discovered that clafouti is usually made with cherries in France. I might try this recipe again with other types of fruit.

I should get a shot, but haven't gotten around to it!
Good luck with your mother. It's not easy.
