Banana Moos


When I first had a Banana Cow, it was many, many years ago (probably about 25-the youngest wasn't born yet, the eldest was probably about 3) on the beautiful island of St. Lucia. We called them Banana Moos because after a few of these you will be mooing for some more. They just sort of slide down. It was an all-inclusive place we stayed at - need I say more? There was a lot of merriment and maybe some over indulgence. Ahhh youth...

Banana Moos

3oz Banana Liquer
3oz White Rum
3oz Heavy Cream
1 banana
ice
Nutmeg, optional

Place all the ingredients (except for the nutmeg) in a blender and let it whiz around. Pour into a glass and top with fresh grated nutmeg.

Cinnamon is also a really nice topper. Or if you want to get real wild try a little burnt cinnamon simple syrup mixed in.  Mr. Boston says to add grenadine. We did not have any. Nor did we have sufficient ice (the Sous Chef is slacking off). But that didn't stop us. Besides the grenadine wasn't in the drink in St. Lucia either. I think they used a simple syrup and no banana Liquer - just straight up rum.  Experiment - what could possibly go wrong?

New Kid on the Block

So here's a picture of the new kid on the block. Ain't she a beauty? It's a Blomberg . They are fairly new to the US. They have been around in Europe for quite a while. I really liked the design. I've been dying to have a freezer on the bottom. With the old refrigerator I would constantly lose brain cells by hitting my head on the freezer will poking around in the refrigerator. It really makes sense to have the refrigerator on top - that is where you spend most of your time. When we bought the old one, it was an emergency situation. The prior one was leaking on the floor and was no longer cooling. Fifteen years ago the freezer on the bottom was just starting to get popular but we were in no situation to wait for delivery. We had to take what they had on hand. Now the freezer on the bottom is by no means unique. What is - is this freezer's design. There are 3 compartments in the freezer. I used to have a chest freezer in the basement and everything would get los...

Mensa Member?

I think Mickey is a member of Mensa. We heard him last night but could not determine where he was in the kitchen (or should I say the Sous Chef could not locate him - I certainly was not looking). He had been lurking in the toaster cabinet the night before and averted the glue trap. This is absolute torture. Still no cooking going on.

Nothing in the Larder

Well there's nothing left in the freezer except some peeps from Easter.  Shockingly they are good until 2016 - that's reassuring huh? This raises a few questions: Why do I keep peeps in the freezer? Well they are delicious frozen.  I don't know why I havent eaten them yet??? Why is the freezer empty? because we are getting a new refrigerator. This one is 15 years old and quite frankly it owes us nothing.  Every once it a while it lets out a big sigh. We figured we better replace it before it lets out one last final sigh. Why am I calling it the larder? Well I think of that Simpson's episodes where Moe calls Homer fancy for calling the garage a garage and not a car hole. I know it's not the same but it just makes me laugh and gives me an excuse to find that clip on youtube. So the delivery is set for the end of the week. We moved everything from the freezer to the downstairs freezer. The only thing that got thrown ou...
