I don't just craft w/ paper ;-)

So, I'm wanting to do a new blog "rotation". i won't make this one long, because I have written another blog today, and I can't blog every day in every blog LOL.. if that makes sense :-)

It's that time of year for me though, where I don't just "craft" w/paper and photos- but also w/ food. this last few days has commenced my seasonal baking, cooking obsession. LOL.. I tend to just skate by in the summer, it's an uninspiring season for me in that arena. Except, I do a lot w/ berries, but I didn't make jam this year. It was an odd fruit year w/ the crazy weather we had!

Anyway! ;-) Last night, I got a huge blessing from my husband. A CAR! for anyone that knows me and my situation this past couple of years, this is one of the biggest things EVER in my world. Next- will be to find a new home to live in, b/c w/in the next few months they are selling this one. until then!!!!! LOL.... i was inspired to make Flan.

I've heard it "can" be challenging, measurements have to be exact in order for the custard to set correctly. Don't over mix, or it won't set, the sugar that gets on the bottom has to be perfect- etc. I followed the recipe exact except I sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on the top of the custard before baking it- and I used my min- convection oven which I haven't really done before. Figured it would be better than firing up my regular 1970's oven that heats uneven, and the temp seems to be off- and anyway, yeah.... ha ha!!!!

Well, this is the end result- and let me say it's NOT difficult if you follow the recipe- I used better homes and gardens. i cooked it JUST until the knife came clean, the custard was still jiggily- i just trusted my gut and the end result was yummy! :)
