Guiness Pancakes w/ caramelized bananas and cream

Inspired from Dan Divelbiss. (Definitely the ultimate Bachelor food) He normally makes it with boxed pancakes, but I would haven't any of that. So this was my attempt at making box Guiness Pancakes...

3 c. flour
1/2 c sugar
2 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 1/2 cans of Guiness
butter to grease pan
100% cream
2 bananas thinly sliced

Pancakes:
Combined flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir together completely. Add eggs and stir together. Add Guiness until it creates a thick soupy texture.

Heat pan and put butter in pan. Pour about 1/2 a cup of mixture onto the pan. Once the batter stops bubbling, flip pancake and heat through.

To make caramelized bananas:
Thinly slice bananas. Heat pan with about 1/2 stick butter. Place bananas in pan and put about 3 tbsp sugar. Mix together in pan. Stir occasionally until it turns into a golden brown mush.

Then drizzle cream on top.
Enjoy!

Lychee

Fruit found in Antigua market. The top picture you can see the actual edible part in Dan's mouth, and the hairy red part is like a peel found on his plate.
It kind of tastes like a grape without its peel, but a little more gelatinous. Good fruit!

Pattaya (Dragon Fruit)

Crazy fruit found in Panajachel while we were getting ready to go back to San Marcos, Guatemala. It tastes kind of like a kiwi. Yummm... yummm

Tortilla Espanola (Spanish Omelete)

When I first experienced this dish I was in Annecy, France. One of my friends, Sylvan, from Spain prepared this dish for one of our "family dinners" with the Salomon interns. Then again in Belize , another one of my friends, Joanna, prepared this dish for me while I was down in Punta Gorda, Belize for a meeting with OVA (Organic Vanilla Association). So now, in Guatemala, I prepared this dish for Les, Dan Dake, and Dan Divelbiss before a long night of Scrabble. Practicing my Spanish and bargaining skills, we bought all of the ingredients from a large open market in Antigua. Be sure to wash all vegetables from Guatemala before eating.

Please realize this recipe was made up and not measured. So the ingredients are estimations of what I really used. And I'm living in a bachelor pad where they have no spices or utensils for cooking...

8 huevos (eggs)
4 medium papas (potatoes) peeled and thinly sliced
1 1/2 cebollas (onions) diced. I chose yellow, but any color is fine.
2 large cloves ajo (garlic) diced finely
1 tsp sal (salt)
1/2 tsp azucar (sugar)
1/2 tsp Maya-ik picante sauce (hot sauce)
1/4 lb quesa (fondu cheese) shaved
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
green chilies (for garnish)

Heat pan with 1/2 tbsp olive oil.
Stir fry onions, sugar, 1/2 salt and garlic until onions are slightly golden.
Set aside.
Scramble eggs and rest of salt.
Put 1/2 tsp oil in pan and heat.
stir fry potatoes and hot sauce until potatoes are soft and browning on the sides.
Mix onion mixture, potatoes, and cheese (leave some cheese out to place on top) with egg mixture
Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in pan
Pour egg mixture into pan
As the egg starts to set use a spoon or spatula and pull edge slightly off of pan so the raw egg and fill in that open space.
After egg is fairly well set but middle is still gooey, use spatula and free egg from the pan. Be careful not to let omelet break
Place large plate on top of pan. Make sure the plate covers entire pan.
Using a hot pad (warning it will be really hot!!! trickiest part of recipe) flip omelet onto plate. Gently slide omelet back into the pan (this is to let the top part of the omelet to cook through).
When the omelet is cooked through again flip omelet back onto serving plate.
Sprinkle left over cheese on top and garnish with peppers.
Enjoy
