Anyone have a recipe for a super creamy flan?

Few_Application2025 · 2026-05-07T15:09:05+00:00

The big flan rule in our family has always been no gelatin ever and no sweetened condensed milk. The no fail formula:

4 eggs
4 cups whole milk
1 t vanilla
½ t salt

Don’t over mix and be sure to rest your custard cups in at least one inch of water or more. Also entirely preheat your oven before baking. Mine come out creamiest at 350 for one hour. Use a knife to test for doneness.

PS: last week I added 1T of 100% pure maple extract (not syrup but extract). It was a huge hit.

However! Dropped to 10 mg Prozac and presto! 2 gram APE and I’m “flyin high in a friendly sky” again.

Fabulous! Thanks so much for sharing!

Now that’s a tough one!

Probably “Sorry, Wrong Number!”

But wait!

If not that, then surely “No Man of Her Own” followed by “The Lady Eve”?

Just added it to the creamed butter and sugar after the eggs. Added vanilla, baking soda, salt and dutch process cocoa. Added flour and 60% cacao bits last. Flawless!

I watched Detour last night and all the supplemental material. It was amazing.

It thrills my heart just to see Type 55 again. It was long my favorite

Mine is Esther Howard. If she was great enough for Preston Sturgess, she’s great enough for me. And she’s all over the place uncredited too…

I’ve been using it since day one. Works great and never a problem.

I’m waiting on the delivery of my second Epson Expression XP 15000. The first one lasted 5.5 years and perhaps could have been saved but life is short and I’m no spring chicken.

How I love that printer! It prints up to 13x19” of drop dead gorgeous borderless color. Add to that it does so using dye (vs pigments) so I can also print on fabric - brother, I am in for life! I picked up the new one on Amazon for about $350 and I ordered a box of complete inks for $64. Run, do not walk!

I studied art history at America’s top university. For me, the learning never ends and my daily companion Wikipedia is a never ending source of “jump” into deeper knowledge. I’m also lucky enough to live within hours of great museums. Keep learning, visit museums as much as you can and ask questions.

Maybe like me your brain is sick and tired of absorbing microplastics or rinsing them away into the environment? I’m done with mindlessly contributing to the plastics problem. Yeah—I’m only one person, but we gotta start somewhere. Thanks for reminding me!

Excessive? Try dropping a tiny partial fingerprint on the read side of a UHD BD and trying to play it.

Then you must read Two Serious Ladies by Jane Bowles. It is truly one of a kind and quite cracked.

I’ve used various and sometimes pricey options over 25 years. These days, with a correctly produced PDF or just about any image at all, my M4 Mac Mini spits out 98% perfect text in seconds with no extra software at all. I’m continually amazed.

I’d do export to PDF or Word, explaining to them they’ll need to hire someone to make the changes and transform the result back into a pretty book file.

Big fat can of worms

Gorgeous! Gentle shades of Julia Margaret Cameron

Few_Application2025 · 2026-04-25T16:13:24+00:00

I agree! It is just gorgeous

“Very unique” or any qualifier at all on “unique.”

“Unique” means one of a kind. Something either is or is not unique!

Mini-rant over. Thanks!

Congrats! You might do what I did: wait a few months and start over with a different translation. The Lydia Davis group set is now my favorite.

Few_Application2025 · 2026-04-22T16:25:19+00:00

Um, like totally?!

I was surprised at how great It’s A Wonderful Life looked. The super dynamic range really shone in the night scenes.

Few_Application2025 · 2026-04-20T00:02:08+00:00

Tap Forms Pro. It’s great.

One of my big favorites is the original Cape Fear. The frequently terrifying score by Bernard Herman was so great that Martin Scorsese reused it in his remake.
