Better Than Tucanos

I had two bananas that were near the end of their life span, so I looked up a recipe for Brazilian fried bananas and made a modified form of the recipe. It was unbelievably yummy:

3 Bananas
1 large Egg
1-1/2 cups of Finely crushed bread crumbs (I used a french baguette bread that had dried out and ran it through a cheese grader).
a pinch of salt
4 good shakes of cinnamon
1/3 stick of unsalted butter

1. Heat up pan on medium high.
2. Cut bananas in thirds, then cut the three pieces long-ways.
3. Dip the banana in egg yolk so that the bread crumbs stick to it.
4. Dip the banana in the bread crumb, cinnamon and pinch of salt mixture. Coat thoroughly
4. Put the butter in the pan. When the bubbles die down, set the bananas in. For this, you just have to have enough butter to cook the underside, then flip it and cook the other side.

The bananas should have a slightly crispy texture to them. Best served warm.

Who is Fanny Dack?

She is buried in a cemetery in Bountiful, UT

From what I've pieced together from the Internet and PAF, Frances (Fanny) Dack Parrish was born on 28 Oct 1795 in Wicklow Co., (Dublin) Ireland. She emigrated from Ireland to Elizabethtown in Ontario, Canada with her family. She was married there in 1820 to Samuel Parrish (she was 25). Missionaries found them in Canada, and they moved to be with the saints in Nauvoo. She was endowed in 1846 (at age 51) in the original Nauvoo temple. She came across the plains in 1847 with the first pioneer groups. They lived in Centerville (Parrish lane in Centerville is named after the Parrishes she married into). She died in 1851 at age 56. How is she related to me? She is Grandma Martineau's Great Great Grandmother, which makes her my Great, Great, Great Great Grandmother.

I took the picture of her headstone today. I had to climb over the little fence around the small cemetery in a dress.
