Inspiration.......yet again. Short-lived they have been so far, let's see how far this goes. Inspired by riascollection.blogspot.com, which by the way is a great piece of work and kudos to Ria, this is going to be loosely based on my wife's and my culinary adventures. We shall start with my absolute favorite concoction, flan, or our version of it. By the way, allrecipes is a great resource, but please make sure you read the reviews of each recipe.

The first time Pinku tried her hand at it was for my first birthday after we got married. She threw the most wonderful surprise party, which completely bowled me over, and finally had this decadent, melt-in-your-mouth, goodness that everyone who was there that night remembers. She's always maintained that the credit isn't hers, but to the simplicity of the recipe, you can't possibly go wrong, just follow the instructions. I've heard of people who grab a tub of icecream and a spoon and decimate the tub in front of the tv, over the course of a evening, and I used to grimace. All that changed when I discovered flan. The only reason I would stop eating it is because I want to have some the next day as well. Every morsel is carefully sized so you can strike that balance between your tongue having enough flavor and being overwhelmed. I can go on, but I would rather not. Just as a picture is worth a thousand words, so is a taste, go try some some for yourself. You will not be disappointed.
