Flan de Almendra (Almond Flan)
February 27th, 2010 by Nancy
If you ask me, this food fight doesn’t seem very fair. My selection was inspired by the soulful and heartstrings-tugging Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan, but meanwhile, Karen picked a recipe that’s been used as a magical projectile weapon. @_@ (That’s my look of worry and shock.)
But there’s no use in worrying now when there’s almond flan to be made! You know what would cheer you and me up? Saying the word “flan.” Flan, flan, flan! Shout it with me! Fuuuuuuh-laaaaaaaaan!!!
