A Rebel’s Recipe- Ann Clarke- 10th VA.

Best Ever Banana Pudding

1 ½ cups light brown sugar, packed

2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 (11-12 oz. can evaporated milk, shaken well

¾ cup water 3 eggs

1/8 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla

¼ cup butter

1 (12oz.) box Nabisco Nilla wafers

4-6 ripe bananas

Topping:

2 cups heavy cream, beaten with 2 table-

spoons powdered sugar. 1 cup vanilla wafer

crumbs.

Whisk together brown sugar, flour, evapo-

rated milk, water, eggs, salt and vanilla in a

heavy saucepan or the top of a double boiler

over a little simmering water. Add butter and

cook over medium heat, stirring, until the but-

ter melts. Reduce heat to low and cook slowly,

stirring often, until the mixture thickens and

just starts to look a little curdled. Remove from

heat and cool slightly. Place a layer of vanilla

wafers in the bottom of a 13x9 inch glass bak-

ing dish, slice the bananas into rounds and

place a layer of rounds on top of the wafers.

Top with about half the pudding mixture,

spreading to completely seal the wafers and

bananas. Repeat layers, ending with pudding.

Refrigerate until chilled. Top with whipped

topping and sprinkle with vanilla wafer

crumbs.

From the Chairman—Al Meyers

I wish to thank everyone for allowing me the honor to

serve as your chairman this past year.

I started this position without knowing what I was get-

ting into. I have learned a lot but realize that there is a

lot I have yet to learn and I am continuing my educa-

tion from my own research and experience as well as

from talking with other club members and learning

from the vast

knowledge we collectively have.

When I was elected chairman last year one thing I

vowed to do was to bring before the board any

changes to the club that members would like to have

considered. I have been able to follow through with

that commitment and have brought forward your

ideas for consideration. If reelected I will continue to

do that.

One thing I would like to achieve this year is to find

some way of holding the meeting online as well as in

person so the voting members who would like to have

input but can’t get to the meeting because of distance

can log on and attend the meeting over the internet.

This would allow more members to participate and

provide input.

I have enjoyed serving as your chairman this last year

and I hope I’ve earned your vote for the coming year.

My fellow members of the WCWA, my name is Ernie Sherrill. I am running for the position of Vice Chairman, of our fine club. I have been in this role before, in other clubs and organizations., so the responsibilities and duties are not unfamiliar to me. I have a strong sense of responsibility, and integrity. I would like your vote for me, and your confidence in my abilities, to help lead our club in the right direction. I am currently the Commanding Officer of the Tahoma Naval Shoreparty. I have been a member in good standing of the WCWA, for over 15 years, and have watched our club grow in size and stature. If elected, I will have a wonderful example to follow, in Howard Struve. LCDR John Sherrill , Commanding,

US Tahoma , Columbia River Squadron , WCWA

Greetings everyone. My name is Elizabeth Sier. I am very honored to have been nominated for the position of Confederate Civilian Coordinator. With my husband, George, I have just completed my sec-ond full season with the WCWA. We have partici-pated in all 4 main events and two others. I have assisted Anna Flores this year with membership records and I worked with Anna to put together a successful application to the Combined Federal Campaign for contributions to be made to the WCWA by Federal Employees in King County and North Puget Sound in 2011. I will work with Anna to go to all CFC campaigns in Washington State for 2012 contributions. I truly enjoy this organization and want to see it continue to grow and serve the public while we all have FUN and enjoy ourselves. I want to thank you in advance for your votes.

Electioneering

My name is Erena Heino, I have been nominated for the

posistion of Union Civilian Leader. I have been re-

enacting with the Washington Civil War Assocition since

2005. I am with the 1st Regiment of Mounted Riflemen.

Since 2007 I have been portraying a 19th century school-

marm. This started as an independent college study course

integrating my love of teaching and history, The youth in

our organization have a lot to contribute.

If I am elected as Union Civilian leader I will encourage

more recruiting, education, and the portrayal of every as-

pect of civilian life from the town blacksmith, to the mer-

chant and seamstress. I have job experience in event pro-

gramming ,as well as education. I have the time and en-

ergy to dedicate to this position. I humbly ask for your

vote.

Mrs. Erena Heino

Hello everyone. My name is George Sier. I am honored to have been nominated for the position of Confederate Battal-ion Command. I have just completed my second full season with WCWA and have enjoyed my time in this organization greatly. I have been with the 26th North Carolina serving as a private and then, for 2010, as Quarter Master Sgt. My wife, Beth, and I attend almost every Board meeting. We have at-tended every major event in 2009 and 2010 as well as others and some in Oregon. I would like to give back something to this great organization. To that end, I would be very grateful for your vote.

The Mason-Dixon Township

By Linda Myers, CSA Civilian Leader

The first season is finished for our newly organized CSA Civilian community, “The Mason-Dixon Township”. As a “home in town”, we have enjoyed the search for “household items” and the opportunity to show and explain their uses to our visitors. We have so many ways to grow as a Town: the farmers widow trying to eke out a living on the edge of the city growing around her, the refugee family taking cover in the discarded tent in an al-ley, the wealthy heiress on the hill, an injured sol-dier home with his family recuperating from his battle wounds, the shopkeeper, the school teacher, the preacher and so many more. There is any number of ways to build a persona for those who wish be a part of city life. It is not neces-sary to join the Civilian unit to set up with the Town, give me a call before an event and give it a try.

Fun Fact: Nabisco has a plant in North Richmond in Varina.

Banana Pudding The South’s Favorite Dessert- Banana Pudding

Everyone will agree that only in the South

banana pudding is quintessentially Southern.

It is so connected to this part of the world, at

Carolinas barbecue restaurants, if dessert is

offered at all, it is usually banana pudding. It

can be made cheaply in big quantities and

turned out in sheet pans or disposable

aluminum trays at church potlucks. I like to

dress it up and use a trifle bowl. But why is

banana pudding Southern?

Bananas are everywhere. In the U.S., they’re

ahead of apples and oranges as the most con-

sumed fruit. Nabisco’s Nilla Wafers are sold

nationally, with the recipe on the box. But

banana pudding isn’t everywhere. In an

informal poll, with four Northern cities these

were the results. Milwaukee, banana pudding

doesn’t show up at all, just banana cream pie.

In Minneapolis and Pittsburgh food editors had

only seen it in African-American owned

restaurants. It is widespread in Chicago, where

many Southern black families moved in search

of work during the Depression. It is still

strongly connected to family events,

particularly potlucks.

Tracing it back one piece of the puzzle is the

bananas. Starting in the 1800’s, they were

imported through Southern ports, particularly

New Orleans. Before the 1860’s when, Standard

Fruit moved to Gulfport, Mississippi, so many

bananas came ashore in New Orleans that

watching the unloading became a tourist

attraction. Author Joe Dabney offers another

Southern connection in his 1998 book

“ Smokehouse Ham, Spoonbread and Scupper-

nong Wine.” I have this book I suggest it for

Southern cooks. Starting in 1880, bananas

shipped from New Orleans by the Illinois

Railroad were stored in Fulton, Ky., before

they were dispersed across the country. The

town used to celebrate its role as ‘banana

capital of the world” with a yearly banana

pudding festival, a tradition that continued

into the 1990’s.

Stephen Criswell teaches folklore and English

composition at the University of South

Carolina Lancaster. A native of Gaston Co. he

likes to trace food origins he wrote the

puddings entry for the ‘Foodways” edition of

“The New Encyclopedia of Southern

Culture.” He got the assignment after he and

editor John T. Edge went to see Southern

Culture on the Skids and heard their song “

Banana Puddin’.”

“I married my wife partly based on her ability

to make banana pudding,” Criswell says. “A

good Southern boy, I had to marry somebody

who could cook like my mother.” Criswell

couldn’t say why banana pudding mostly

stayed here. But he had theories on why it

started here. He noted the strong resemblance

between banana pudding and English

puddings, which were generally anything

that combined soft cake and custard.

“Technically, it’s not a pudding, it’s a trifle

and it’s sweet.” There’s that Southern

fondness for excessive sweetness.”

The South has always had strong Anglo-

Celtic ties that turn up in the origins of

recipes-particularly desserts that don’t call for

long baking times in the sultry heat.

If you are tired of rolling &

pouring your own cartridges, especially at the last minute during an event, my sons and I will do it for you.

We will cut/ roll paper,

and pour a pound of powder for $25.

Orders must be placed no less than

one week before an event. We may be contacted at

for a weekend event. Feel free to place orders during the

My name is David Carter and I have been a Civil War and Indian Wars reenactor since I was 8 years old (now 38). The time has come that I clean out the closets, boxes and garage to sell the vast collection of original and reproduction items that I have acquired over the years (Some of the items are listed below). As of late, I have been unable to muster the energy or excitement or been able to break free from the confines of work to spend with wonderful people such as yourself, to continue on in the reenact-ment world. Reenacting has taken me across our landscape from coast to coast, been on the cover and inside of three books, several magazines, modeled for a bronze sculpture and loaded many a round down the muzzle of my weapons. But, the time has come to turn the page of my own book. I can provide photos if needed or drive a short distance to show (Lake Stevens). All items are in very good or good condition as I continually cared for my equipment and uniforms. Thanks in advance, David Carter 425-652-9059 dc3tc1@hotmail.com Items include in part: 1. Several uniforms confederate and federal, most hand sewn, but-ternut, gray, navy blue, sizes up to 42" chest and 32" waist (I grew alot between 8 years old and 38 years old so I have several uni-forms to part with). Some are C & D Jarnigan, so the finest in quality, federal great coat. 2. Tin items, CS drum canteen, confederate butternut round, federal round, personal camp pot with lid repro, dippers, 1 personal original camp pot with lid in very good condition as seen in several museums around the country, personal skillets, forks, etc. 3. Haversacks 3, 1 confederate white, 2 federal black. 4. Federal double side pack with original hardware, 'Stewart' made highest quality from original pattern. 5.
