A Dessert that Takes Me Back to My Childhood

Today is National Baked Alaska Day. The one dessert that automatically takes me back to my childhood and Sunday dinners at my grandmother's house. 

When I was a kid, many Sunday's were spent at my grandmother's house. We'd visit with relatives for a little while, then head over to the neighborhood bowling alley for a few games then back to 'Nannie's' house for dinner. Many of those dinners ended with 'Baked Alaska' for dessert. My aunt was a whiz in the kitchen and she made the best Baked Alaska's.

I miss those days with no cares or worries. I also miss the days of having homemade Baked Alaska because there is no way I could possibly master this (or for that matter any other) dessert!

Here is a recipe from the Food Network for Baked Alaska. Feel free to share your own version, if you're so inclined!
