Several months ago, I got a dinner gift certificate and thought I'd share it with two of my favorite people ;-)
We went to Black Angus and for dessert we got creme brulee and some other dessert. It turns out that my dinner company (both of them) love creme brulee. So I thought maybe I would give it a try...
Little did I know that creme brulee is difficult to make (???) but I found a recipe called "Easy Creme Brulee recipe"... notice the emphasis on "easy"? I thought it would be a snap. I figured that night I would get the ingredients and make it, let it set overnight, pick up a torch on the way home the next day and voila... creme brulee a la me... for two super special people :-)
Everything was perfect except for one little thing... I waited and waited and waited for the creme to set up in the oven, to no avail and then it just got chunky.
I consulted my handy-dandy-auntie again. She asked if I put boiling water in the pan holding the rammekins... no... in fact I did not. I didn't even notice that it said "hot" water in the recipe.
rammekins by the way, care of one fabulous Lori, who picked them up for me when she realized I had no idea what a rammekin was... I called her from the store when I was trying to pick up ingredients some other day for something else and saw a different recipe for creme brulee and asked her. So please know that the creme brulee, had been a long time coming even to this point...
So no set up creme brulee that night, and so I didn't go to get the torch the next night. Decided I would try it again later and keep my eyes peeled for a good deal on a torch. Finally got a torch the week of 4th of July, while camping (yes, camping) in Carlsbad. Lucky for a future creme brulee, Sonnet outgrew her sneakers and we hit the outlet to snag her a new pair. Along the way was a kitchen goodies outlet. (Also got a yummy spice blend you add to EVOO and dip bread in... it was a hit at the 4th of July BBQ... yum!)
Guess what... the torch didn't come with butane. I believe it was about a month ago that I finally got butane for the thing and filled it up.
Little brothers like fire... I hesitate to admit that one such younger brother thought it rather entertaining to play with the torch whilst my child slept in his care... grrr... The torch is empty, but I will fill it again... one day...
Let me just say... this had better be one darn good creme brulee when it finally comes around!!!
...to be continued...

The next time you are looking for a blow torch don't go to a specialty kitchen store. Instead go to your local hardware store - any hand held torch will do and they are not as expensive as the ones at a kitchen store. I buy disposable ones that last a long time for around 10$.

I have this amazing recipe from a French Chef... Creme Brulee of course.
1 liter Heavy Cream
1/2 vanilla bean or 1.5 g extract
Boil these together
10 egg yolks
150 grams sugar
Mix this together with a paddle in a mixer
---------
pour 1/4 of the boiled mixture into the egg and sugar mixture to temper it. Mix thoroughly then pour in the rest of the cream mixture into the egg.
Strain the mixture.
Pour this into your ramekins - you can use little foil cups as well.
you can also put a few raspberries in the bottom of the ramekins before pouring in the mixture.
Bake in a pan filled with water at 375 until the top is set and does not jiggle. (When baking for the most part I do not rely on times - I constantly check on it after a while of baking)
*** For chocolate creme brulee add 135 grams of chocolate
*** for mint infuse the mint leave with the cream while it boils - when you strain the mixture later the leaves will stay in the strainer.
I guess I forgot to say that the above recipe typically yields 4-5 full ramekins worth of creme/custard.

During the markup to Quarter Result 2267, the jaws proposing online gambling code, foe Spencer Bachus recurrently referred to an article in the Orlando Picket as heralding the incipient dangers of Internet gaming. Bachus said the legal papers bemoaned the induce Internet cafes posed to children, and argued this meant accepting online casinos means subjecting kids to risk.
Bachus repeated the citation a include of times during the process of the exchange nigh the Quarter Financial Services Panel, as if he had discovered a in the red kernel of fact gaming proponents could not refute nor digest. But the Alabama Republican had either accidentally or consciously muddied the dampen with misleading information.
Is it possible to contact administration?
