The Recipe Corner - Plaintains

You need at least 1/2 a plantain for each person.

Melt butter and olive (or vegetable oil) in a frying pan. Turn your heat to medium or medium low. Add the plantain, sliced about a quarter inch thick, to the oil. Shake sugar and cinnamon over the top of the plantains. fry until golden, turn plantains and add sugar and cinnamon to the other side. Before taking them off the heat, flip the pieces back for about 30 seconds just to set the second sugar and cinnamon coating. Serve hot with ice cream for dessert or, my favorite, as a side dish to jambalaya.

SUNDAY SUPPLEMENT - On location with our next Tuesday Tinker

ArtistVanda lives in Placerville in the Sierra Nevada foothills. She writes, "Because weddings have been a big part of my life for the last 6 months I am including pictures from my own in August. 
Because my animals are so special to me, my dogs were included in the wedding, with their very own hand crafted weddings collars. Rose wears the collar wih roses and Taz wears his wild west sherrifs star badge collar.

The second picture is from the Hotel Leger, pronounced "Le-shey" in Mokelumne Hill, a semi ghost town, where the wedding was held. The hotel is notoriously haunted, and my husband, Dr. William R. Cameron and I first went there for a ghost hunt with Dave Mace, from Everyday Paranormal. This is me in my old west bridal attire, all hand crafted.

The last picture is of myself in the middle and wih my son, Benjamin Goodloe, who is in the Coast Guard to the left and his bride to be, Danielle Rogers, who also proudly serves in the Coast Guard, is to the right. They are getting married themselves this weekend and good ole Mom, is making the wedding cake. So far I have hand sculpted 24 beautiful, large red fondant roses. I am so proud of them both."

ArtistVanda sells commissioned portraits of people and pets in her shop. She also sells prints of some of her finished paintings. She works in oils, acrylics and pastels.
