And honor them you did. So nice to see that some people are still grateful for the sacrifices that have been made by others on our behalf. I just hope the true meaning of this holiday is never lost.

Much appreciated Robert! Oh some still remember we give a small donation to a youth group at a local church and they go around and put up flags every holiday! I snapped this one a little bit ago….

So what to do for dinner after a lunch like the above……. How about tempura fried bananas?

the wife added some cinnamon and vanilla to the tempura batter for a bit more flavor!

These babies fry up in 3 or so mins at oil temp of 350.

Oh man tasty little bites!

…….not your average banana!

These were served with some hot fudge and Gordon Ramsey Carmel sauce that my wife added a splash of bourbon and vanilla….oh and then topped with some toasted coconut!

Main course looks awesome, and those fried bananas shove the meal way past over the top. Most excellent.

Dinner and dessert both look great. How do you like the hex pan?
Thanks 90! We have had the hex for about 5-6 months now and hands down they are the best set of pans we have ever had!!! We now only use the hex, our triply stainless, and a couple true non-sticks. We still have our CI, will never give them up, but you can get a better sear on the hex then a CI, but we have 18k btu burners!
That's one heck of a meal right there!! Nice way to honor those who have given so much...
Many thanks GS! If we always honor we never forget!
