Pan Fry the Big Ones

I got nothin’ tonight.
It was a long, tiring, and wonderful week. Two unique meals, some lovely presents, and enough good will to make a grown man blush. Now, if only I were a grown man.
So anyway, I’m beat. I’d love to tell you about the “New Ideas” dinner at The Black Bear the other night, but I couldn’t do it justice. Not in this mood. But rest assured: When a dinner starts with chocolate covered, cream-cheese filled jalapeno poppers, you know it’s something special. That the meal also included open tomato ravioli with an ox tail stuffing, squid ink frittata, and a filet mignon confit on a bed of saffron mashed potatoes
fine. now I’m hungry and the only thing open is Jack in the Box. Curse you evil tormentor!

As I quaff a double-make-that-collosal Citron/rocks in honor of your birthday, may I suggest one of my favorite “it can’t possibly be good” recipes?
If you’re of Southern descent, make a batch of buttermilk dough. If not, get some phyllo pastry. In either case, fill pockets of said dough with 2-3 banana slices, 1/2 ounce jack cheese, and a slice of fresh jalapeno. Seal into little packages, and brush with butter.
Fry or bake, your choice.
As we say around here… lord have mercy.
Hey, Steve, did I tell you my sugar and I are getting hitched?
