At the end of the day I understood those people who watch HGTV all day and think they know "EVERYTHING" there is to know about searching, choosing, inspecting and financing a home. Yes I know that cooking and home buying are different. But I did decide I could buy a kitchen torch and tackle creme brulee because I'm a food network junkie.
I read about 100 recipes before I decided which one I was going to try. In the end, I choose Alton Brown's that Donald picked. It had over 224 reviews and still had a five start rating. Wow wonder if I'll have a 5 star rating when I have 224 reviews on zillow?
So today when Donald took off to walk the dogs I started the cream to a simmer with a fresh vanilla bean split and scraped. I won't take you through the entire recipe that I linked above. But I have to tell you that the 3 hours I had was supposed to wait for it to chill turned into just 2 and a half. And I didn't burn down my kitchen. And well it was rich and creamy and wonderful when I finally pushed my spoon through that sugar crust. I think I'll have another tomorrow. Right now I have to get back to watching Iron Chef America. I just saw some banana's wrapped in ham, topped with crem fresh and cheese... I feel a shopping trip in my future. I'll let you know how that turns out.
