sure, mon! :biggrin:

bananas foster
from mario batali in his NASCAR cookbook. mario says he learned this from emeril, so i figure it has to be good!

4 bananas, ripe, but not over ripe, sliced
1/2 stick butter
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 ounces 151 rum (i used calvados apple brandy this time)
vanilla ice cream

get everything (except the ice cream) together next to the grill because it goes fast.

heat a cast iron skillet over high heat till it smokes.

put butter in skillet and melt and start to brown.

add brown sugar & cinnamon and stir. it will form a caramel like sauce that bubbles and grows when you stop stirring.

add the bananas. stir to coat.

add the rum and STAND BACK!!

when the flames die down, toss the bananas to coat again. and cook about 2 minutes

spoon over ice cream.

lick the spoon and say "that is good, mon!" :biggrin:

the berry buckle cake was a tastefully simple box mix and the ice cream is available at your grocer.

enjoy!
