How many times can you use a torch while cooking?
I am a sucker for Pappas Deaux since eating there seven years ago. I take a few trips to Albuquerque (where we have a Pappas Deaux) and so I have had the opportunity to visit again since the first time.
Last month on our trip to Austin we stayed the night in Dallas. Part of the reason to stay in Dallas was to give the family a break from driving, and the other (not so equal) part was so Dad could eat at Pappas Deaux and Mom could finally taste for herself all the good things I'd been talking about for so long.
My favorite desert has been the Creme Brulee, and I've always thought it was out of my reach, until this weekend. Mom was practicing for Thanksgiving dinner deserts and delighted dad with the debut of creme brulee.
I never thought something like that was achievable at home, until recently. I got the creeme brulee home style and it was delicious, as good as the ones at a restaurant. Misty found the recipe and I was delighted. Madeline tried it, and liked, but wouldn't admit it.
