Mexican Flan


..........Flan is a Mexican custard with a caramelized sugar topping. Wendy makes it for fancy occasions. Since Mary and Rex like to do food blogs on occasion, I thought I would I would, too.......



........first the caramelized sugar goes into the individual molds. It sets up like hard candy when it cools...


............The half-'n-half and eggs are heated. (Doesn't she look like Julia Child?).............




......a blender is involved. I may have this out of order, but, hey, I am just the producer, not the chef.......



..........the flan is poured into the molds on top of the topping, making the top the bottom. This chef stuff is complicated...........




...........It then comes out to cool. I get more involved as it gets closer to eating..........



.......here Julia carefully places MY flan into the refrigerator to cool..........


...then, after all those stupid gifts are opened and the little ones play with the empty boxes for the required amount of time, we get the dessert ready. (c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, already!)




.............Somehow there are no pictures of people eating flan. I was busy.................
