I made the pie! I only had three ripe bananas in the house, so I added about 3 big tablespoons of creamy, unsalted peanut butter to make up for the extra banana. Very easy, very delish! I shared the pie with friends. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

So, so smart… I really should have tried preserving/fermenting more! Honestly, I was just afraid to open my fridge at all for the first few days, hoping that I might save any remaining cold air, because who could have guessed that the power would be out for a whole week? By the time I gave in, it was just too late to salvage much. At least I did have the foresight to dehydrate some fruits and vegetables… Just not enough, apparently.

Yes, it is horrible to imagine that… my grandparents are doing fine now (thank goodness), but apparently there are 7 different floors in their building that are still without power! (And I know that’s still true for a lot of other people in nyc, too!) I’m hoping everyone there is being extra helpful and neighborly to each other.

That would be so scary! Being without power is one thing, but to be trapped in a high rise… They are much braver than I to make it through such an ordeal with grace. I hope they’re doing okay now, and things are mostly back to normal. It’s so strange and horrible to imagine that there are -still- some people out there without electricity…

I’m sorry you had to go through that, Hannah. It really does sound like a nightmare. I’m glad you are well. I’m sure everybody appreciated the lovely pie. Food truly does offer comfort, doesn’t it? I would want you around in a storm. ;)

Even though storms like this bring such devastation, they also have a way of bringing out the best in humanity, don’t they? I’m so happy you and your family were able to take shelter someplace safe and warm.

And your pie looks wonderful!

Now that’s ingenuity! I hope I never have to be so resourceful, but now I know there are still options when there’s no power and only pantry goods to be eaten.

Glad to hear that you are okay and made it through unharmed. At least this pie will be a happy memory in the midst of everything else that was dismal.

That recipe looks easy enough. I will definitely have to try this for Thanksgiving. I’m sure I can convince my family to eat vegan along with me! Thanks for the great post and nice work riding out the storm.
