I have a flan story. A few years ago my wife (then girlfriend) and I went to Costa Rica to visit my aunt, uncle and cousins. I had talked with my aunt about how excited I was especially since flan is such a big thing down there. She said she'd make me some.
Imagine my surprise when she pulled out a box of Jell-O (or whatever brand it was) Flan mix. She said nobody made it from scratch any more because the boxed stuff was just as good.
htrn: Hey, you're right! I looked it up. I have the traditional white Ramekins with fluted sides. The last time I made scratch Flan it started by melting sugar in the Ramekins to make the caramel crust. Gotta download a recipe. My son Tim and I will have Flan tonight!

It IS yummy!
ReplyDeleteI've got a set of those little white ceramic cups. Hmmmm... I wonder if I can get to the store right after work.

Sadly, she was right.
Turk Turon, those little white ceramic cups are called Ramekins.

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken. ;)
