Food & Fun 2010

Hot off the computer keys for 2010!! 

     We went to a fabulous show at The Great Park in Irvine, California yesterday!  Kooza!! Which is one of the newest shows by Cirque De Soleil. It was during the intermission at Cirque's Tapas Rouge event, that I tasted a new favorite canape. Peanut butter, honey and bananas on a roll. Elvis would be so proud! 

The rolls they used at this event were just plain bread rolls. So in keeping with my (hopefully unique) Twyst, I propose using the ever popular Kings Hawaiian rolls that are in most every Von's or Safeway store in California. 

     Generously spread peanut butter on half a lightly toasted  roll, add several dabs of honey, layer on two elongated slices of fresh Banana, sprinkle with sugar and then carmelize the sugar with a torch and you have a little bit of heaven on a roll. These are simple, inexpensive, and from the impressions I saw in the large number of people at the event, they will be quite a hit at any party.

     Now I just wonder if they would be better with Chili paste spread on the roll first? I only pose this question because another thing that Katrina and I ( the Nephews too ) like to have for a treat is to cut several Kings Hawaiian rolls in half, place them on a sheet of tin foil, then spread a bit of Sambal Olek Red Chili Paste on the roll, we then add a slice of Cheddar Cheese and crisp them in a toaster oven for 4 minutes. Sweet, spicy and CHEEEEESE!

Well, looks like more experiments are in the Que for this year!
