Now That's More Like It

Creme Brulee - Take Two.
But the Jersey Girl still needs the fuel to fire up the blowtorch.

Check it out, dear readers.

Above is a pic of my Creme Brulee Redux. The recipe I used made four servings, so at some point during our recent snowed-in stint, we gave the extra leftover dessert another whirl, because I kinda think, no, actually it's safe to say, that my Creme Brulee Take 1 was a bit on the overcooked side.

Just say it, Susan. Just say it: The Brulee be burnt.

But I, I will survive.

Even though burning something kills me. I mean, I have a reputation to protect.

But alas, the Jersey Girl does eff up in the kitchen now and again.

Actually, the Creme Brulee Take 1 didn't look so pretty, but it tasted amazingly fab. Just in case you do try at home and go a little overboard on the carmelization part.

I really gotta get the fuel to ignite the blowtorch. All of the research I've conducted says that a blow torch is way better than the broiler in a Creme Brulee situation.

Must get on that.

  2. That looks so so so good. My love of all loves is some creme brulee. There's a restaurant in Hawaii that does that whole Pacific Fusion thing if you know what I mean and whether or not you're a fan, they do this fabilis fabilis ginger creme brulee and it is 2 DIE 4.
