Easy, Prize Winning Dorm Room Chocolate Banana Cream Pie

In the 1980's the CF clinic seemed dubious of my ability to thrive in the dorm. Ha! is all I have to say, I did very well in the dorm. The meal plan allowed for 3 meals a day but that was never enough. I made a lot of food in my dorm room with not much more than a popcorn popper, an iron, a hot pot and a mini fridge for tools. In those days microwaves were not too common. To make the pie filling in this recipe I used an empty popcorn kernel jar. I took this pie to a Halloween party at church and won first prize in the pie contest. My roommate asked me to make this again and again.
