New Filipino Delicacy: Broiled Banana Bread Jan.29, 2018

When we got home from our trip up the mountain, we realized that we had ripe bananas and we had flour, so Ron started making banana bread.  The batter/dough looked great, but the oven was the problem.  

                          

                         The stove looks okay, doesn't it?  But looks can be deceptive!

After the oven had preheated a while, Ron put his hand in and thought it felt hot enough, so in went the banana bread.  About 10 minutes later, we started to smell something burning.  He turned the heat down--and down-- and down, but we could still smell burnt sugar.  Finally I opened the oven door to look at the banana bread-- and it was black!   Apparently that little zigzag setting means                                                                                 "BROIL"! 

Ron used his fish-filleting skills to remove the blackened top, the unburned part went back in the re-set oven, and in a little while, it tasted lami (Cebuano for delicious)!
