This is the actual Bananas Foster recipe from the original source and creator of this dessert: Brennan’s Restaurant in New Orleans. The scrumptious dessert was named for Richard Foster, who served with Owen Brennan on the New Orleans Crime Commission. Richard Foster was a frequent customer of Brennan’s and a very good friend of Owen.
Ingredients
¼ cup (½ stick) butter
1 cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup banana liqueur
4 bananas, cut in half lengthwise, then halved
¼ cup dark rum (Gosling’s Black Rum)
4 scoops vanilla ice cream
Directions
Combine the butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a flambé pan or skillet. Place the pan over low heat either on an alcohol burner or 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 Bananas Foster 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.

Popcorn is celebrated by modern dietitians as one of the “healthiest” snack foods out there, but what sweets us is that popcorn’s been around for almost 6000 years, (probably originating in Guatemala,) and is going stronger than ever!
These days, when most of us think of popcorn, we think of Orville Redenbacher, the true impresario of the popcorn world.
He raised the profile of popcorn on an international scale and improved the processes that lead to consistently tender, delicious popcorn, which is why we’re featuring it this month.
