An Experiment in the Kitchen

Today, folks, I am going to attempt to make flan. I got the recipe from a little lady in our neighborhood named Hortencia. Wish me luck. I'll be starting my adventure around 6:00 today, which means that if all goes well, there might be some good eatin around here by 7:30 or 8:00. Stop by if you wish. The best part about this is that I'm the only one in this house (that I know of) who will eat the stuff, so there should be plenty.

Cheers!

This goes without saying, but of course I'll be there. Good luck! In fact, I know it's a sacrifice, but I offer myself as one of your guniea pigs. That's what good friends do, you know.

P.S. This may be a little too bold, but did you make the most of your "advantage?"

How's that flan coming?

Lorien said...

hmmm.

lesson #1: Don't turn the oven back off once you start baking the flan.

lesson #2: Start baking early enough so you can try it before you go to bed.

stay tuned...

Lesson #3: Don't make flan. Any desert that looks like moderately congealed pflegm should not be eaten.

Guy shares your opinion of phlagn. Too bad for both of you! I think it will be desert for flambly flome bling bling this monday night. Mommy might be the only one with a smile on her face.

The Dally Llama said...

I don't know, if you saw Max smiling devilishly, it might be because he flicked a booger into your phlagn, which would have been impossible to detect in that slimy, oozing mass, and he got to watch his mom eat it. It made me smile just thinking about it.

P.S., you REALLY need to catch up on 24. The stuff going on this season will blow your mind. The events that I've ruined for you already are nothing compared to what happened last week and last night.

lesson #4: Lorien makes ROCKIN FLAN! Despite the oven mishap, the flan turned out smashingly. Guy even VOLUNTARILY ate 5 bites. I officially declare this experiment a success.

To all my local friends, I apologize for eating all the flan (except those 5 bites) before I could share with you. I just couldn't part with it. But do not fear. I will live to make another flan! (but not for you, llama...I'll have Max make you a booger collection.)

oh, and hello to jello (hey, that rhymes!). Welcome to this happy place.

Flan AND 24, two very important experiments. I support you fully.

Let's try the cream cheese version next. I will bring the eggs. I happen to have farm fresh on hand and Martha just swears by them. Of course, if you keep up at this rate you'll be taking over for her soon.

Lorien as Martha? It's a good thing...

Who, exactly, are we talking about?

Lorien said...

watch it....

dalene said...

Yeah Guy. Haven't you ever heard the warning "Don't bite the hand that feeds you."

I can help with the enrichment thing. I think that i could arrange for 2 or 3 dances.

Cream Cheese...CREAM CHEESE in your flan? FLAN?
