Creme Caramel

Last year, Buzza got the horrendous cake (do you remember 'case in point?'). This year, he asked for something more simple, sparing me the trauma of having to decorate another cake and allowing me to practice my new favorite thing...making caramel. Oh caramel, how many gallons can I drink of thee, let me count the pounds. (*@*)

I've never been a big fan of creme caramel, even though it's a popular dessert in Asia, more popularly known as flan. I know, crazy right? Caramel + Custard...how can I not like it!?!

Most creme caramels I've had have been too eggy. I expect creamy, soft custard and instead, you get a mix between pudding and jello. It's like seeing Cinderella but actually getting one of her ugly step sisters instead. Bleh!

Anywho, I obliged and according to Buzza, it was slurp, burp, hmmmm...that's it?

I followed this recipe to the T. Am I using this idiom correctly? =P

Note: The top (or bottom, once you flip it) of the custard may look a bit burned at the end, but that's normal. When eating the person usually just scraps it off.
