Alton Brown almost made me sad again (that pie crust is still a sore spot...), but persistance ruled the day. Bananas brulee is a success! Cut a banana in half, then half again (but this time lengthwise). Put cut side up on a rack over a cookie sheet covered in aluminium foil. Stray molten sugar and burn marks are things you'd probably rather wrap up and throw away rather than try to scrub off. Cover cut side liberally and evenly in sugar. Apply flame (propane torch in my case, but I hear a broiler will work as well) and proceed to melt sugar as you would with a creme brulee.
There are some gotchas. Unless your bananas are under-ripe, you need a good bit of sugar. Alton just dipped his. Mine soaked through the dipping of sugar and needed another heaping. After one melting, if your banana tops look clear instead of brown (as mine did), wait for the sugar to cool, apply more sugar, and melt again. I could tell that first heating was wrong because the sugar was bubbling as it would if you were making candy by boiling sugar dissolved in water - not as if you were finishing off a creme brule. Clearly the moisture from the banana was coming into play. A second application of sugar and melting works quite well since the first application acts as a small barrier to the moisture.
Add ice cream and enjoy.
Posted by kstroke at November 27, 2003 03:52 AMHomosexuality is not 'normal.' On the contrary, it is a challenge to the norm; therein rests its eternally revolutionary character. Note I do not call it a challenge to the idea of the norm. Queer theorists - that wizened crew of flimflamming free-loaders - have tried to take the poststructuralist tack of claiming that there is no norm, since everything is relative and contingent. This is the kind of silly bind that word-obsessed people get into when they are deaf, dumb, and blind to the outside world. Nature exists, whether academics like it or not. And in nature, procreation is the single, relentless rule. That is the norm. Our sexual bodies were designed for reproduction. Penis fits vagina: no fancy linguistic game - playing can change that basic fact. However, my libertarian view, here as in regard to abortion, is that we have not only the right, but the obligation to defy nature's tyranny. The highest human identity consists precisely in such assertions of freedom against material limitation. by texas holdem poker

Posted by: online roulette at November 22, 2004 11:10 PMOne can generally say this about men: that they are ungrateful, fickle, simulators and deceivers, avoiders of danger, greedy for gain; and while you work for their good they are completely yours, offering you their blood, their property, their lives, and their sons when danger is far away; but when it comes nearer to you, they turn away. by gambling
