Banoffee Pie

Yes, I am aware I said no more baking for a while but some days the only thing that is right and good and decent is caramel. 

Sometimes your day is complicated, confusing and rushed. No matter how hard you try. No matter how organised you believe you are. There are some days when you just end up chasing your own tail. 

But things look brighter when you arrive home and you discover a can of condensed milk and some ripe bananas. 

And just when you think life can't get any better, there is whipped cream too and as you plonk yourself down on the couch and push all the regretful, worrisome episodes of the day to the side...you wonder why things seemed so bleak and overwhelming to begin with.

and that, is the magic of caramel.
