LOL. Now that is embarrassing. In the future, you may want to ignite the
Gran Marnier in a large spoon and pour it over slowly to avoid that big
fireball. Gran Marnier has a wonderful rich aroma. It does not mix well
with burnt hair :-)


We did a flambeed dish for a friend one night. She warned us that it never
works when she is around. I assured her that it always works for me. It
didn't. Apparently she really is a flambe jinx.
