Today on DelmarvaLife –
Sailing skipjacks at St. Michaels
Labor Day Weekend, 1960. 16 Skipjacks compete in the first ever Deal Island Skipjack Races. This Labor Day Weekend, the Skipjacks will race for the 61st time. We talk with Manager of Main Street Princess Anne, Carrie Samis, about what the event is going to look like in light of COVID-19.
Ahh..the start of September. I can feel the cool weather already rolling in. And soon enough, that cool weather will turn into cold weather. We can assure you that you will not want to wait until those freezing nights to make sure your HVAC system is up-to-date. Today, we talk with Mindy Allen-Townsend, Managing Partner of A&A Companies, to find out about fall maintenance.
If we asked you; what do you love the most about living on Delmarva? What would you say? It’s probably difficult to narrow it down. The open spaces, the community feel, the beaches, it’s so hard to choose. Well, Dustin and Rachel Parker of the Parker Group feel the same way. They believe in so much in what the Peninsula has to offer that they have made it their mission to help people find homes here. They broke into the real estate biz about 5 years ago and have not looked back. Katie visited to find out how the Parker Group has grown since then.
When it comes to our loved ones, it’s important to keep them engaged. And caring for them means more than just taking care of their physical needs. It means taking care of their body, their mind – the need to stay active. But during these days of social distancing, that can be more of a challenge than you think. Today, we talk with Vice President of Resident Programs at Commonwealth Senior Living, to find out how they’re taking care of your loved ones during these “different days.”
If you like drama, you’ll find plenty of it during this election season. During any election season for that matter. The fight for power tends to get a little emotional. That’s the idea behind a new book, “Poetic Justice.” It’s set on the Delmarva Peninsula and centered around one of our local traditions, Return Day. We talk with Author, Andrea Johnson, about the court thriller. To find out more about Andrea, please visit her website ajthenovelist.com.
Who doesn’t love banana pudding? I know I certainly do. Our recipe for Banana Pudding Dream is so creamy and dreamy you’ll feel like you’re eating a light, fluffy cloud. Ok, maybe not a cloud, but this recipe definitely isn’t lacking in deliciousness. Easy to throw together and no baking involved, this recipe is one you will never get enough of. Check it out below:
What You’ll Need
- 1 (11-ounce) package vanilla wafers, broken into pieces, divided
- 3 (4-serving size) packages instant banana pudding mix
- 5 cups milk
- 1 (12-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
- 1 cup (1/2 pint) sour cream
- 3 bananas, sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
What to Do
- Reserve 1/2 cup vanilla wafer pieces; place remaining wafer pieces in a 9- x 13-inch baking dish.
- In large bowl, combine pudding mix and milk; whisk 1 to 2 minutes, or until smooth and thickened. Add half the whipped topping (about 2-1/2 cups) and sour cream; mix well. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a medium bowl, combine bananas and lemon juice; toss until evenly coated, then drain.
- Spread half the pudding mixture evenly over wafers. Arrange banana slices over pudding mixture. Evenly spread with remaining pudding mixture.
- Top with reserved 1/2 cup wafers over pudding. Dollop with remaining whipped topping.
Notes
- Go ahead and garnish with extra banana slices for a nice finishing touch!
