Flan

Here we are in mid-November and I wonder where 2011 has gone. The months have disappeared and I feel not much has been accomplished from my to do lists that I usually draft at the beginning of the year.I had a few books to read and things to do with the little one and I will tell you with a good amount of guilt that I could have done much better. However, I can safely say that this year was one of the most traveled, if not the most.Besides the nearby places,Alaska and Montreal are the two places which involved long journeys. With the little one and over 10 hours of flight/drive each way, I am proud to say, we survived!The trip to Alaska is one of our best travels.Long journeys got us exhausted but each place was unbelievably beautiful.
Here are some pictures from our trip!

The flan recipe is extremely simple and the end result is fabulously delicious. It needs just a few ingredients and you will have a sinful and an elegant dessert.
