So, here for your romantic machinations is (in a slightly edited form now that I'm not trying to beat a deadline)...
FLAN-ing THE FLAMES OF DESIRE
Ingredients 6 eggs, smooth and round 12 oz. evaporated milk, poured in a silky, creamy stream from the can 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk, slowly drizzled from the tip of a spoon, reserving enough to dip your middle finger into before sensuously licking its rich sweetness from your fingertip 3 oz. cream cheese, warmed from the heat of the sexual tension 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract Dash ground cinnamon -AND- 1/2 c. sugar, ‘cause it makes it taste so good
Add the eggs, milks, cream cheese, vanilla and cinnamon to a blender. Pause between additions to trade suggestive looks and double entendres while slowly edging closer to each other. Blend for 1 minute. Let mixture rest. Ignite stove by bending over burner knob while slightly arching your back. Look over your shoulder as the burner ignites, catching him watching you, and sharing that look that says, “I know that you know that I know that you want me.” Carmelize sugar in a heavy saucepan or skillet, imagining your inhibitions melting away with those sweet sugar crystals, and immediately pour into an 8"x8" baking dish, spreading sugar to coat bottom of dish. Add blended mixture to baking dish. Place baking dish in a water bath and bake at 350. Remember that there was a serving platter that you needed to get down from a high cupboard right behind him. Climb onto a step stool to reach the serving platter, slightly hesitating while asking him if he will take it from your hands. Turn to face him just as he moves to stand in front of you, losing your balance just enough to fall into his waiting arms, yet not hard enough to drop the platter. Let your face come to rest within an inch of his, gazing at first his eyes, then his mouth, allowing flames of desire to ignite…
Remove the flan after 1 hour and chill overnight (or just leave it overnight in an oven that has been turned off - flames of desire are notoriously tricky to keep hot and a long delay can result in cold feet). Invert onto serving dish and serve either cold or at room temperature.
Smart Bitches was running a contest today for recipes written in purple prose. I just had to try...'cause who wouldn't want to win a copy of Natural Harvest: A Collection of Semen-Based Recipes? Oh, and a Cuisinart. Those are cool, too!
