omnomnomers, we shall learn the fine art of lighting stuff on fire creating Bananas Foster.
Recipe first, then story time. :)
( Under here, there be FIRE )
Story time!
Story the first: My dad is a food safety nut. He used to own a restaurant Back In The Day and so he's big on the cross-contaim prevention and using vents (hoods) over the stove. Well, the first time we made this at home, my dad (being my dad) turned on the vent. We didn't turn it off before we lit the fumes, and FWOOSH, there was a giant fireball that went up into the stove hood, melted the mesh filter and fused it into one solid piece of metal. Yeah, we had to get a new hood, and we never leave the vent on when we're making this. :) Moral of this story: if you want an excuse to get a new stove hood, make this and leave it on.
Story the second: I had a boyfriend over and we decided to make this. He did the lighting and didn't get his arm away fast enough before it caught. He didn't have any burns on his skin, but all his hair on his arm was singed off. Moral of this story: move your arm faster, genius.
In conclusion: FIRE.
