Belly Up to the Bar With Bendy and Her Friendies!!! Button Pics & New Thread Started!

Okay... I know, I'm a bit off topic here but I wanna tell you about this dessert I made tonight. OMGOSH... it was like WOW.. It came from the Jan/Feb 2009 issue of Cooking LIght. The recipe is Roasted Banana Bars with Browned butter-Pecan Frosting. I made it into a cake instead. But omgosh... the roasted banana is delicious. I can post the recipe for those that don't have it. At first when I cut into the cake I thought it was going to be a bit dry. But it is moist and WOW a lot of banana. Very good for being lowfat. Here's a picture but I cut slices before I took a picture. Trust me the picture does not do justice to the taste...

1) There is no such thing as off-topic on this thread!

2) I don't usually like banana-type desserts but that does look pretty good.

3) Please post the recipe when you have time.

4) Thanks for sharing!!

I'm not a big fan of banana but that does look good and I bet the frosting was yummy!

So this is where everyone's been hiding! Can I come play, too? I'll have to go back and take notes on all the good recipes you guys have posted.

Sorry to hear you won't be coming out to Chicago this spring, B. Maybe next year? We are headed to Alinea in May. I promise to take a memory card full of pics for you.

You & Jay will have an awesome time at the Peabody! It's been years since we've been down there. I can't wait to see your pictures to refresh my aging memory! LOL!

Happy Planning!
-Michelle

Had to pop in and give the asparagoose bundles a huge . We LOVED them. Even duck slapping DS who normally doesn't care for asparagoose had seconds!

Bren how the heck did I miss this thread...am I living under a rock, in a cave, frozen in time???? Many thanks to my pal TigerKat for showing me the light!

I had to change our dates this year due to the 40% off room rate we received so we will be at the POP Oct 22-25 and the BC CL Oct 25 to Nov 1st....

Let me know when and where and I will just have to add more dates to the beginning of our trip

Nicki!!!!

I haven't been advertising this thread ... maybe I should? And I felt kind of funny about PMing people with the link ... like I was being pushy or something.

Anyhoo ... our dates will be 10/14-10/24 - we have a wee bit of overlap on the front end of your trip. If your dates are final I'll add you to the list I've got going somewhere in the middle of this thread ... I probably need to move that, too.

Hey ... have a great time at WDW - aren't you getting ready to head back with your neices?

I think you should let everyone know...its a great thread!

Yes our dates our final, really wanted to go the week you are going but the 40% off code means more money to eat and drink with so how could I say no to that??

We leave tomorrow with the girls, should arrive at the Poly around 8 or so...just started my dining review link...this should be verrrrry interesting!

I have been cleaning up some stuff on my computer and found pics from our last trip to Vegas and some food porn from Mesa Grill, Table 10 and a few others. Does anyone care about any of those?

You're asking this group if we'd be interested?

Totally off topic ... one of our other favorite cartoons is The Critic which was woefully under-appreciated. Jay just sent me this link which never fails to reduce me to the squeaks (high pitched laughter with tears).

Watch Me!

OK! I guess it was dumb to ask! Food Porn is what it's about right?

We went to Vegas last May for a wine event and ate a couple cool places ..
Mesa Grill is 1st! The food is FANTASTIC and not too expensive by New LAS VEGAS numbers. We also went at Lunch/Brunch time which helps! The drinks are AMAZING! We had Margaritas and Pear Cactus Margaritas! No drink pics? I know.. I am sure I drank mine too quick to get a shot of it!

It was Jason (my hubby), Myself and Jason's Mom and Step-Dad who LOVE food and drinks like we do!

We had Two orders of these - BLUE CORN PANCAKE Barbecued Duck + Habanero Chile - Star Anise Sauce

 

[kabuki]

GOAT CHEESE “QUESO FUNDIDO”
Rajas + Blue Corn Tortilla Strips

This was wonderful!




We saw someone next to us get this and had to have it .. it was amazing!
SPICY CHICKEN + SWEET POTATO HASH
Poached Eggs + Green Chile Hollandaise

Goat Cheese and Corn Tamales

You can see how happy I am!

Table 10 - Emeril's Newest Vegas place. We sat at the bar for lunch! We had a good meal but the bar tender didn't know how to make a Mint Julep and it was Kentucky Derby Day! So I walked him through making his 1st one! It was wonderful as always!

So got Blue Crab Salad -I could have had 3 of these just for me!
Calamari with olives - YUM!
and House Fries.. Like good steak fries!
