Bananas Foster...or just Foster because bananas are yucky...and Foster is delicious

Ingredients
1 stick butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup of heavy cream
3 bananas peeled, halved, and cut lengthwise (optional)
1/4 cup dark rum
Ice cream, optional

Directions
In a large skillet, melt butter. Using a wooden spoon, add brown sugar and stir together. Add the cream and let it get all bubbly.

Forget yourself and spoon some hot bubbly caramel right into your mouth.

Cuss.  Then do it again.  It's worth it.

Add the rum.  Light match, then holding the match with your kitchen tongs, chuck the match into the pan while screaming.  This scares the fire out.  Repeat as many times as needed until rum catches on fire.  At this point you do the happy dance as it not only well-deserved but helps fan your blistered tongue.

When the fire dies out, carefully fish out all your matches. They are covered in delicious caramel sauce so contemplate saving them for eating later...

Serve sauce over ice cream.  If you choose salted caramel truffle, you will literally create a piece of heaven assuming you didn't transfer any of the nasty bananas into your bowl.
