Welcome to Awakenings

Life IS history in the making. Every word we say, everything we do becomes history the moment it is said or done. Life void of memories leaves nothing but emptiness. For those who might consider history boring, think again: It is who we are, what we do and why we are here. We are certainly individuals in our thoughts and deeds but we all germinated from seeds planted long, long ago.

Go Bananas!

Pies have been around since Medieval times, maybe even way before. Cream pies, puddings and custards were the after meal highlights any day or time. The banana has been around even longer possibly the first cultivated fruit. So, today is the day to go bananas!
  • The entire banana is edible...even the outer peeling.
  • Banana cream pie was ranked the number one favorite dessert among the soldiers of the United States Armed Services in the 1950s.
  • Recipes for banana cream pie can be found in recipe books dating back into the 19th century.

March 2 is...
Banana Cream Pie Day


Spend a little time in the kitchen today whipping up a delicious banana cream pie to share with family and friends. You can make it simple...from a box, or as complex as you desire...completely homemade.  GREAT way to enjoy time with the kids as they help out with either preparation or devouring the end result! Of course, there is always that little bit of snacking along the way :-)
