The Girl Who Thinks She’s A Bird received a Creme Brulee Kit for Christmas. She also unwrapped a bottle of Creme Brulee bubble bath on Christmas morning.
Basically she is crazy for creme brulee.
Who am I to complain?
My house smells like a Parisian Cafe. So it’s all good right? Have you made creme brulee before? Wait, hang on the UPS guy is here. Okay I’m back {he’s wearing long khakis today FYI}.
You should try making creme brulee at home. It’s way cheaper than going to a restaurant and paying $7.95 off the dessert menu. In fact, the only time I would ever be willing to pay $7.95 for a single serving of creme brulee was if I was in a Parisian Cafe.
Plus, if you make a yummy batch of creme brulee at home… You get to play with fire! Yee-Haw!
Burning food is cool. Just ask the HH. I do it all the time.

6 Egg yolks

Sprinkled chilled brulee with enough sugar to coat the top of the custards. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize sugar by moving the flame continuously over the surface in a slow, circular motion. Makes 6 1/2 cup servings. Recipe Credit: Bonjour Culinary Torch Recipe Book.
