the FlaN that started it all

Cooking...my lifelong passion.

When and where it all started? Home Economics class in junior high. Blame my teacher when she asked the class this totally unexpected question out of nowhere:

"What will happen if you steam a leche flan without covering the llanera (tin pan) with aluminum foil?"

If you think i'm weird enough to know the answer to that q...then i guess you're right. The rule of thumb is, every domesticated girl should know that flans will turn bread-like and rise if you don't cover it with foil=). oh well, the truth is, i found that out when i was too lazy to buy a foil at the time my mom made one.

Having answered the ultimate question, it dawned on me at that very moment that i may know more about food than anyone of my age knows. Perhaps i might as well translate that as the turning point of my cooking life.

Btw, i don't do flans.
