Scene Restaurant and Lounge-Monaco Pictures

September 11, 2008

First, I hope that everyone remembers the significance of today's date and what it means in the history of our nation. I hope and pray that we never have to deal with such a tragedy again.

Secondly, I hope you enjoyed this morning's show from Monaco Picture's Scene Restaurant and Lounge. What a neat place to enjoy a good meal and I do mean a good meal. Executive Chef Anthony Gutierrez has a menu that runs the gamut of foods, including sushi by Sou Chef Paul Visuthikosol. Can you say OUTSTANDING!!! Here are a couple of recipes from this morning's show for you.

Bananas Foster

1/4 cup (1/2) stick butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup banana liqueur
4 bananas, cut in half lengthwise, then halved
1/4 cup dark rum
4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Combine the butter, sugar and cinnamon in a flambe pan or skillet.
Place the pan over low heat on top of the stove and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves
Stir in the banana liqueur, then place the bananas in the pan. When the banana sections
soften and begin to brown, carefully add the rum. Continue to cook the sauce until the rum is hot, then tip the pan slightly to ignite the rum. When the flames subside, lift the bananas out of the pan and place four pieces over each portion of ice cream. Generously spoon warm sauce over the top of the ice cream and serve immediately.
For added flavor, toast slivered almonds in melted butter in a skillet, salt to taste and spoon over bananas.

Salmon-2 slices
Yellowtail-1 slice

Mr. Reeves, you are a treasure; may father, now deceased, watched you faithfully. My mother left alone and in poor health - I moved back to Alabama to care for her - found solace in watching you until she died.

You are more than a news source; you are a part of my extended family.

I like the staff at WHNT, especially Lisa Washington, you, Jerry Hayes, Steve Johnson, John Pearson, and, for brevity, the whole crew. The others are not less in my esteem because I don't list them by name.
