Ärende: Budget billing
======================
-=> Quoting Nancy Backus to Jim Weller <=-


 NB> But I thought you said that they only have to read the meter once a
 NB> year...?

I wrote sloppily.

Water: no budget averaging offered or needed. Meters are read
bi-monthly; bills go out monthly with every other one being an
estimate.

Electricity: budget plan offered with annual readings (or if called
for because of a house sale or a change of tenants). I don't bother,
so I get monthly readings and monthly bills.

Oil and propane: budget plans offered and I do have one of these.
The truck delivers every 3 to 6 weeks throughout the winter depending
on how severe the weather is. I get monthly statements from
September to May that may have one or two fills or none at all noted
on it. The May statement will have the true final balance and
either an invoice or a cheque.

     Title: Banana Filo Tarts With Honey Caramel Sauce
Categories: Pies, Fruit, Sauces
  Servings: 6

    100 g  butter; melted
      6    sheets filo pastry
    300 ml pouring cream
     55 g  (1/4 cup firmly packed)
           brown sugar
      1 TB honey
     30 g  butter; extra
      1 lg pinch of ground cinnamon
      3    bananas; peeled, thinly
           sliced
           Icing sugar; to dust

Preheat oven to 180 C. Brush six 2 cm-deep; 8cm base measurement)
fluted tart tins, with removable bases, with some of the melted
butter.

Place filo on a work surface. Cover with a clean tea towel; then a
damp tea towel (this prevents it from drying out). Brush 1 filo
sheet with melted butter and fold in half crossways. Brush with
butter and fold in half again to make a 22 x 11cm rectangle. Line 1
prepared tin with the filo and trim excess to about 1cm above the
edge of tin. Brush with melted butter. Repeat with remaining filo
and butter. Line the filo cases with non-stick baking paper and fill
with pastry weights or rice. Place on a baking tray. Bake for 10-15
minutes or until golden. Set aside to cool. Remove the paper and
pastry weights or rice.

Place 60ml (1/4 cup) of the cream in a small saucepan over medium
heat. Add the brown sugar, honey and extra butter. Cook, stirring,
for 5 minutes or until the mixture is smooth.

Use an electric beater to beat cinnamon and remaining cream in a
bowl until firm peaks form. Divide cream mixture among the filo
cases. Top with the banana and sauce.

Dust with icing sugar.
