It ain't Jell-o!

The only thing good about expensive fancy restaurants, is of course, the Creme Brulee. I found that out a few years ago when my husband and I got a night without the kids. Extremely under dressed and feeling out of place, we waited patiently with the other "losers" that didn't have reservations. Finally it was our turn..........Can you say, "ala carte"? Want salad with your over priced steak? Extra! Want potatoes with your over priced steak? Extra! We actually paid 7 dollars for a 1/4 wedge of iceberg lettuce with a dab of dressing..What a Rip!!!! Any guesses how much our bill was? So anyway, because of a mess up in the kitchen it took forever to get our food. Lucky for us, they were feeling very generous. We got to share a very tiny ramican of Creme Brulee. On the house!!! This was a delight and the best part of dinner. To quote my husband,"Creme Brulee is like magic in your mouth". No joke. It really is that good. I have always wanted to learn how to make it and was shocked when I learned how easy it was..I even got to use a blow torch....Watch out Emeril Lagasse, here comes trouble!!
