I had some leftover diplomat cream from the pastry challenge I did last weekend, and found a banana cream pie recipe that could use it. The recipe was from a cookbook I've had for a while but never tried anything from - the Roselyn's Cookbook. When I lived in Indiana, I heard story after story about Roselyn's - a historic local bakery that had unfortunately closed by the time I lived there, but they had sold recipes and continued selling some of their products under the Roselyn's name.
The banana cream pie is nothing difficult - I used a graham cracker crust, soaked the 3 bananas in pineapple juice, filled the crust with the diplomat cream, topped it with bananas, and put whipped cream on the top. 
The piece I took doesn't look pretty (really I should have used a somewhat different cream that would have set up more) but it tasted good!Hooray for pie week!

yay for pie! that looks delicious.
I'm willing to take part in the event, too, Jenny - I think you did a great job!
Another great idea with that leftover Diplomat cream!!
Instead of corn meal in the veggie burgers you can use bread crumbs. I used corn because it ties in with the southwestern feel of the burger. I haven't read Omnivore's Dilemma--what's the problem with corn (as opposed to any other unethically grown food)?
