Culinary Challenge - Creme Brulée

Last week Owner instigated a new set of challenges for me to complete. i do all the cooking at home but Owner expects to see me extend my repertoire. Accordingly, She has created a set of cards, each of which contains a dish She would like me to prepare. After i have made the item stated on the card to Her satisfaction i am to pick another card, then when i have prepared that, pick another card...and so on.

The first card draw was last week and the card i picked stated that i was to make creme brulée. i have never actually attempted these (we didn't even own any ramekins to make them in). Anyway, this morning i made the custard and cooked it in a bain-marie, then after a day spent chilling in the fridge this evening i added the caramelised sugar glaze and served. Et voila (incidentally, if you want the recipe it is here)

 

Owner declared Herself to be very happy with the result. Accordingly, i have taken a new card, which says that i am to make home made, gluten free gnocchi. Again, this is something i have never tried to make before. Meanwhile, tomorrow i will be serving Owner prawns and asparagus in a white wine sauce - i hope She likes!

Oh, and the other thing that happened was Owner tried out Her new wooden paddle. It was a comparatively restrained first outing but one that still left my bottom pink and glowing.

my cheeks almost match the colour of my cleaning smock
 One final bit of 'news'. My weight is now down to exactly 140lbs (63.5kg), which i am really pleased about.

Stay safe everyone.

Gluten free recipes can be challenging. Hope it goes/went well. :)

It did thanks Vanessa. Owner went gluten-free a good few years ago so i had to adjust all my recipes, especially baking cakes/breads. Got there in the end though :)
