TREATS and SWEETS

-

Celebrity dish recipes were provided by TV GUIDE, 2004. My first link in MY COOKBOOK COLLECTION will provide you with the publishing company source for other books like this one. I bought this one in a Safeway Grocery Store.

My Favorites from this Cookbook:

CAPPUCCINO FLAN (Robin Mattson's)

3/4 cup sugar
4 large eggs
1 (14 oz)can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup regular whole milk
1/4 cup brewed espresso
or 2 tbsp instant espresso
dissolved in 1/4 cup hot water
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar with 1/3 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, swirling pan to dissolve sugar before water bubbles. Boil without stirring until syrup turns a rich carmel color, 8-10 minutes. Divide caramel syrup among 6-8 oz ramekins or custard cups. (Work carefully; caramel is scalding hot.)

2. In a medium bowl, beat eggs until well blended. Whisk in condensed milk until evenly combined. Whisk in milk, expresso and cinnamon. Ladle custard into ramekins, dividing evenly.

3. Set ramekins in a small roasting pan or baking dish large enough to hold them with a little room in between. Pour in enough very hot tap water to reach half-way up side of dishes.

4. Place in oven and bake uncovered 35 minutes, or until flans are just set. Don't worry if centers are slightly wobbly. Remove ramekins from water bath and let cool on a rack 10 minutes, then cover with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate.

5. To serve, run a knife around the rim of each flan. Dip bottom of each ramekin in hot water about 10 seconds. Unmold into a shallow bowl or onto a plate. Caramel sauce will pour over custards; don't worry about any caramel left in molds.

Made with sweetened condensed milk, these carmamelized treats have a rich, intense flavor.

My Variation with this recipe is:
I used very strong Hawaian Hazelnut Coffee in the place of brewed expresso.
I have made this at work several times with great results and get requests for this dessert!

HONEY-DO'S

My wife asked me one time if I would build a set of shelves in the living room to be used as a library and sewing center. After about 12 years of experiencing my failure as a carpenter, she still had faith in me. Maybe she thought if I keep trying, I'll get it right one of these times............................................. I tried to remind her of my past accomplishments, like the very first set of shelves I built. The shelves came out alright, but I didn't have a sawhorse, and the only room in the trailer that wasn't carpeted was the bathroom. I didn't want sawdust to get in the rug, so I used the John as a sawhorse. You guessed it, cut the John in Half!............................................ She wasn't too proud of me, but after all, I did get the shelves built, so she forgave me for my little mistake.. Besides, half a John is quite a conversation piece!...... The following Christmas she decided that I might be able to build some plywood sleighs for fru
