Hi Cherie, definitely the best pole dancing pic yet! Your meals look so delicious. Creme brulee is amazing! My daughter learned how to make it in French class and her favorite part is using the small "flamethrower" to cook the sugar on top. It just feels so decadent while you are eating it-so creamy and rich! Tony's Town Square makes a pistachio one that is pretty good too

I want to learn how to make it! Is it very difficult? The pistachio sounds good, that's one of my favorite flavors.

sadly, no...d.jay seems to think we need to save money. I have no idea why.

We will be in Puyalp april 10 & 11 for a bowling tournament. How close are you? I'll probably drive up the 9th and head back the 11th in the evening.

Ok this is wierd...I posted a response, swear I saw it there and now it's gone. Did you see me respond on this?

losing my mind!!!!!!

No, it is not too difficult. She follows the recipe in The Better Homes and Garden cookbook.
Creme Brulee
Makes: 4 servings
Prep: 20 minutes
Bake: 18 minutes
Cool: 30 minutes
Stand: 20 minutes
Creme Brulee
Ingredients

* 2 cups half-and-half or light cream
* 5 egg yolks, slightly beaten
* 1/3 cup sugar
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/3 cup sugar
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degree F.

2. Heat half-and-half or light cream in a small heavy saucepan over medium-low heat just until bubbly. Combine slightly beaten egg yolks, 1/3 cup sugar, vanilla, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Beat with a wire whisk or rotary beater just until combined. Slowly whisk or stir the hot cream into the egg mixture.

3. Place four ungreased 4-inch quiche dishes or oval or round tart pans without removable bottoms into a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Set the pan on an oven rack in the preheated oven. Pour custard mixture evenly into the dishes. Pour very hot water into the baking pan around the dishes until water is halfway up the sides of the baking pan.

4. Bake for 18 to 24 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center of each dish comes out clean. Remove dishes from pan; let cool about 30 minutes. Cover, chill for 1 hour or up to 8 hours. Before serving, let the custards stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.

It does not have the part about the sugar though.She sprinkles brown sugar on top and uses the small blowtorch to lightly crisp it up.

This is a funny story I found on the boards tonight. I laughed until I cried my eyes out. Toooooooooooooo funny.

The community board has a thread called the craziest things you have ever read on the boards. I found this story on a link from that thread. It is a funny thread I laughed sooooooooooo hard. I just wanted to share it with you.

I had to stop reading here the other night, because I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe! I tried to tell Jim the story and I couldn't get the words out.

Right as D.jay snapped the pic but before I could untangle myself 3 men walked around the corner. I tried to non-chalantly unwrap my leg and examine the tree like it was the most interesting tree EVER....maybe they thought I was just a tree hugger.

we did get a... yes, 1 picture from the trail of wild life...


Priceless.. I was thinking, what if she mistook one of DeVine's legs for a pole! I could just see you arrested for molesting a CM

Your new baby is so sweet! I love those little mixed breeds. I hope Talulah gets used to her.

now that would have been embarassing!!

Talulah was doing a little better this morning, she's more difficult than a toddler.

Cherie created a monster! That's the funniest chicken I have ever seen. Because it is French, does that mean it has a worse attitude than the regular chicken?

 

[eandesmom]

I don't think so

That is SOOO odd! Puyallup is about an hour and a half from me. Worse if you hit traffic occasionally. I have cousins that live there. Seems like it should be closer but it seems to take forever to get there! We are at the complete other end of town.

Depending on the time of day though I could meet you on the eastside (North Bend, Snoqualmie, Issaquah ish) before the turn to head down there either on your way there or way back. That's about 1/2 way in between.

 

[All7OfUs]

I just read that story and laughed until I cried!! Truly one of the funniest stories I've ever read here!!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

Creme Brulee is a little piece of heaven if it is made right...it has a crispy shell with a warm center that is a custard....

It is not so good when the top is burnt or the center is cold
YOU should try it

it's closeto vanilla pudding the texture is a little different. It has a carmalized layer of sugar on top, my favorite part. It's one of those things that has to be done right or it isn't good.

okay thanks, i think all the places we are eating and can get a dessert,(not a buffet) have it so i will try it and see how it is, hopefully they make it good.

I'll send you a pm when it gets a little closer and I know what's going on. I don't know yet if he bowls sat or sunday.

I agree, one of the funniest ever

I've heard it called and accent mark but I don't think it's the correct word for it. I know it changes the sound of the letter below it....I know I'm just full of information.

I was kicked out of the house at 9 today and I can't check into the hotel untill 2, so i'm sitting in the mom-mobile parked at the hotel and using their free internet. i know, I'm living dangerously!

I'm using Ethan's tiny laptop which is really hard to use..I keep hitting the wrong thing.

Kicked out of the house...again? What are they doing now?

Great update Cherie! Awesome update as usual. The tree dancing was a riot. Those desserts looked awesome! I’ve been looking forward to the “Taxi” story since Jordan first mentioned it.

Can’t wait for more.
