Flan


Question: How many times can a person fart in your yoga class before you become exasperated?
Answer: 3.

Yes, at this evening's yoga class we were doing the downward dog and "Pffft" there it was for all to hear. The Farter. About 3 people over from me...or at least that's what is sounded like. The first time a few people laughed. The second time, less people laughed. The third time, no one laughed. By that point the joke had worn off and everyone was hoping not to catch the stink amongst all the deep breathing. I guess we could be thankful that it wasn't one of those farts that smells like a skunk died in yer arse and spreads like hell fire through the room. Yes, I guess there's that bright side.

Anywho, now to the other eff word..Flan. If you've still got an appetite this flan is pretty tasty. I've had a few samplers of this and either they're all great liars or it's very yummy. One thing I will warn you about though is the melting of the sugar is not for the inexperienced. It's not incredibly difficult but it requires patience and a certain amount of culinary skill. I had to bake this SOB forever too. Much longer than Nigella instructed ..nearly double the time to be honest. Perhaps there was too much water in my water bath...Or maybe my oven wasn't hot enough. I'm not 100% sure. But I got there in the end. And while it does make for a nice treat I doubt I'll make this again. I'd rather have a creme brulee.

Namaste.
