The Pups of Nederland

The beginning of Flan...

...it all started with egg (more yolk than white), whole milk and vanilla...

Aimie makes the BEST guacamole...

...as you can see it doesn't last long enough to be plated...she uses ripe Haas avocados, plenty fresh cilantro, red onion, salt, pepper, a bit of cayenne pepper, fresh lime juice and a touch of olive oil...sometimes I throw some chopped tomato in the mix...Aimie, I feel like I'm missing an ingredient...let me know!

Mexican Lasagna

...a very delicious and filling dish...corn tortillas are a must!

The Water Bath....

Rexx VERY carefully removes the flan from it's water bath..... ....looks good...it must cool before plating.

...very happy with the appearance of this dish...

...let's see if we can get it out of the pan successfully!

...the precarious flip...

...the carmelized sugar poured out perfectly...but we don't like the cracks in the finished product...

The end result...flan

...we are working on plating it so it won't break apart....a work in progress!

Entering the ranch...

during their December storm the high winds created drifts that were higher than 10 feet which completely covered this gate and they needed heavy equipment to get off the ranch!
