Thanks to reader Amy Supple for today's food funny. Or should I say
food "bunny"?

Q: How do you find Ronald McDonald on a nude beach?
A: He is the only one with Sesame Seed Buns.

Wrapping up our Valentine's Day menu is a hearty breakfast designed to
restore one's energy. The banana is considered an aphrodisiac in many
parts of the world, but for the life of me I can't seem to remember
why.

Ham Steak with Bananas

2 bananas, peeled and cut in half lengthwise
1 Tbs (15 ml) butter
2 Tbs (30 ml) brown sugar
1 ham steak, about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick
1/2 tsp (2 ml) crushed black pepper corns
1/2 tsp (2 ml) finely chopped garlic
1 Tbs (15 ml) honey

Saute the bananas in the butter over medium heat until lightly browned
on both sides. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and brown under the
broiler until sugar bubbles. Meanwhile, sprinkle the ham steak with
the crushed peppercorns and saute in the pan used to saute the
bananas, browning lightly on both sides. Add the garlic for the last
few second and drizzle with the honey. Pour the pan juices over the
ham prior to serving. Serve with scrambled eggs and biscuits. Serves
2.
