Wanna Be A Flambe!!
Ben did amazing on his two exams this week. And when I say amazing, I’m referring to the over 100% he got on both of them. Who gets 101 and 105% on a microbiology and a cell biology exam? And silly man said he thought he only did “okay”. Anytime I took an exam like that and thought I did “okay”, it meant I usually all but failed. Science is not my bag baby. Oh well, he can take his science skills and run with ’em.
After all of the hours of hard work, holed up studying, not seeing him except for dinner (and we live together…) he deserved something nice. I originally whipped this little ditty up the first weekend he came out to visit me in Seattle when we began dating two and half years ago. He hadn’t ever spent a day doing touristy things in Seattle, so after a trek to Pike’s Place and picking up some fresh nectarines and bing cherries we came back home and I flambeed the heck out of those babies with some Grand Marnier. You can’t go wrong. Heat it up, serve it over ice cream and you’re set!
nectarines are probably my favorite fruit. can't WAIT til they are back in season!
Super easy way to marinade is to dump it all in a ziploc bag. Clean up is a snap when you just toss it 🙂
good lord this sounds good. i love grand marnier, it makes about anything better
I love the MO behind your flambe. Flame…no flame…booze…no booze. It ain't no thang! Thank you for sharing this beauty and congrats to Ben!
Tell Ben he is being silly–he rocked those exams!!
And fruit + Grand Marnier = you can't go wrong.
