DAAAY-O!


    DAAAY-O! - OK  not so pretty, but it really makes up for it in taste. It was supposed to have a layered look but... the best laid plans of mice and grandmas.



My grandkids love The Banana Boat Song. I get a real kick out of watching them sing and dance to it. During a sleepover at grandma's, I was making them a tropical dinner. So I decided to create a tropical dessert  just for them.
