Which brings me back to my first (and only) attempt at Cherries
Jubilee. I didn't lower the lights because we didn't have dimmers, so
I ignited and expected a bigger flame. Poured again, ignited...
repeat process. Oh, man.... it was BOOZEY. That put me off of
Cherries Jubilee for a lifetime. Never again. Blech. What a waste
of good brandy.

The only flambéed dessert I'll eat now is crepes Suzette and I haven't
had that in years.
