The old crew was back in town, with Vishal flying in from one coast and Praveen flying in from the other. We gathered in château Sharma for good food, spirits, and fun.I got schooled in the art of flambé in general, and bananas foster in particular. Thank you, Steph!
I had tried to make it a couple of times before, but had difficulty with the sugar becomming hard, charred candy. (Solution: more butter, and put the banana liqueur in sooner.) There's a lot of subtlety in this dish, but it's fun when the flames rise. (The secret of which, I learned, is getting the bananas to wiggle in the pan: FOOF!)
Praveen grabbed my camera at just the right moment, capturing it, and thereby enabling my first-ever video post.

KP did a wonderful job filming this, regretfully only excluding himself. Worthy of Iron Chef filmography!
Good deal, I was waiting to see this. Had great fun guys!
Looks like you had fun...how were the appetizers?
Mmm. What better to whet the appetite than fine, snow-bank-chilled beer? :-)
Rachel Ray, look out! Longstinger is knockin at your TV Chef door!
That's right, and as soon as she opens the door she's mine.
