Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'
My very first baking experience happend to be my first cooking experience. I must have been about 9 or 10 years old, it was a weekend morning and my mom and dad were sleeping late. I seem to remember watching a cooking show maybe the galloping gourmet with Graham Kerr, or Julia Child, whoever it was, they must have made bannanas foster because it filled my imagination with the flambe" idea. I thought it would be a good idea to make my parents something special for breakfast, and with my new found flambe" knowledge something quiet spectaculer! I set out on my adventure in the pantry looking for the ingredients to what I wasnt quite sure. A box of banana bread mix jumped out at me complete with directions, I was in buisness! We always had bananas around so I was good there to. Now I had to have fuel for the fire. I know that we didnt have cognac in our house but I remember we did have rum, being of Italian decent I knew about rum cake so I was sure it would be fine. I assembled the cake to the directions, baked it and it came out fine. Remarkably it came out fine, I then cut up some bananas and plated two servings drowning both in rum quite possibly 151.Now for the good part, I brought the two plates to my parents wanting to get the surprise affect to the max I set up a end table outside there door put the plates on it, knocked on the door waited for them to say come in matches ready, I opened the door yelled SURPRISE FLAMBE" and we had ignition. What happend next was a blur, the aftermath was a broken end table, a burnt up comforter, a burnt rug, and the disturbing memory of seeing my parents naked. Afterward I remember my mom on the phone telling grandma what happend saying, I made some sort of cake and he poured booze on it and lite it on fire, and me saying no ma I FLAMBED IT!!

Modern is great apizza, Pepes white clam is better, Sallys bacon is better, Roselands shrimp, or seafood is better, otherwise MODERNS THE BEST! Went there a couple of weeks ago and Willie Nelson was eating there, he must of had the munchies!!!
