Day 8: Homemade Creamy Caramel Flan (is Like a Taste of Heaven)

Creamy Caramel Flan

Status: Homemade

Satisfaction: 10. Creamy and delicious, as the title implies.

Associated with: Clouds (and some Michaelangelo)

I know what you're thinking: Another flan post in one week? Blasphemy! This repeat, however, merits sharing. It was my first attempt at flan--and frankly, it was awesome. Creamy, delicious, melt-in-your-mouth sinfulness in every bite I will pretend I did not take because this is technically for, er, tomorrow's Dickens party. (Did I mention that I'm hosting a Dickens dinner? I'm hosting a Dickens dinner--gee, I wonder what tomorrow's theme will be...)

Anyway, it's sort of what I imagine a mixture of clouds and heaven would taste like if you could take a bite of them. The picture above captures the general sentiment of hallelujah choruses that exploded inside of me at first bite.

It's recipe time! (Click "read more.")

Day 1: Kahlua Flan (Gotta Catch 'Em All!)

Kahlua Flan

Status: Restaurant (Taberna Mexican)

Satisfaction: 10. Creamy and amazing.

From Saturday, 3/3/12

Yep, that's exactly what I think of when the word "flan" pops up in everyday conversation. So the next time you want to take me out to eat dessert (an idea to which I remain completely unopposed), and the dessert choice is flan, not only will I associate our meal with the aesthetically pleasing Pokemon shown above--I will probably forever associate you with them, too. You might even find that you feel the same way after reading this.

As long as you don't mind that, though, I'm always down for some free flan.
