A very quick food note

[teddywolf]

Made the custard for creme brulee on Sunday. I was impatient and melted some sugar on a still-hot one. Texture wasn't creme brulee, but it was very tasty.
Today I made up the other ramekin. Mmmmm.... creme brulee... As good as any I've ever had, and it was my first attempt.

I think I'll get me some smaller ramekins to make smaller portions for a supper sometime. Not today, though.

That sounds yummy- what recipe did you use?

The basics were close to what Alton Brown showed on Good Eats, but I approximated on a number of things and added a couple of items he didn't, and used a different (lower) cooking temperature. Also, I was using larger ramekins and the water in the cooking pan evaporated out far too quickly for those. But I adjusted.

Mmmm. Enjoy! That sounds just grand.

I've never bruleed ... yet. Though Target just now has some heart-shaped ceramic dishes, just the size for dessert for two, in their $1 section near the front door, and I'm thinking ...
