Anybody can have their cake and eat it. The tricky part lies eating your cake and having it too.

Gah! I wake up to 3 pages of innuendo. Can't we let you do anything without it becoming sexual? It seems every other day we have to scrub a thread.


The Hairy Modfather: I am hereby reminding everyone that explicit sexuality is one of the forbidden topics in our forum rules. Even when disguised as innuendo.

The forum rules can be found at the top of every forum or here:

You ain't scrubbing it all, are you? What fun. I wouldn't want to be you right now.

[The Great Skenardo]

...Wait, a dolphin is the Hairy Modfather?

Either a cunning disguise, or balatant lies!

We could go the whole tar and feathers fur route if ya wanted.

Dolphins, being mammals, are hairy. I mean, come on. You should know that. It's elementary school stuff.

No, not at all. But I liked you better when you showed wit and creativity...Who was to think you'd end up with a "your momma..."?


Anyway, way earlier today I made you this version of your avatar using shading to more accurately depict a sentient shadowy flame.



There you go. Don't go asking me anything for your birthday. This is it :p

[The Great Skenardo]

Hee hee. Looks more like an Ultima Flan.

Hahahaha!!! :D

Well it's the thought that counts. In my mind it was going to be great. There's something wrong with this mouse. It doesn't correctly traslate my thoughts into computer images. I should buy a new one.

It looks awesome, anyway :p

PD: What's an Ultima Flan? To me it sounds like a spectacular dessert.

[Midnight Son]

Ultima Flan: Any Flan made by an Mexican mother. It's yummy and delicious.

Do other countries do Flan? I only know Mexico.

Sure, at least I can tell of Argentina and Spain. But I guess it's in all Latin America.

[Midnight Son]

Ahhh, thanks. Then my post would actually read better as "made by a Latin American mother"

Either way, home made flan is the best. *Totally wishes he knew any good Flan makers in the area*

It's not defying gravity, it's defying convention. It still flows downhill.

You know that and I know that, but my 8th-grade science teacher didn't.

Ouch. I had a Spanish teacher in high school that was on the same level. I remember her specifically telling us that "Como te llamas" was pronounced "coe moe tea lamb oz". It was horrible.

Yes, the more sinuous edges in the blackness make it look more billowy, like smoke instead of the jagged edges that look like fire (well, to everyone else but me, apparently )

Sorry Saithis, I did not mean to insult your avvie, I was just genuinely surprised it wasn't a plane. The "Bladewing" part must have made me think of planes on a subconscious level. I honestly never saw it as flame or smoke (and I certainly never saw the white part as a tiara). However, I have always thought it was jaunty. Or plucky. Definitely plucky. But sinuous, shadow-veiled evil is good too

That would be my grandma's flan.

[Sye216]

I've never tasted Flan. I've heard a lot of jokes about it being really squishy, though. Like something deflating in the cupboard...

[FdL]

Squishy? Dunno, it's supposed to be soft but slightly holding, like between a pudding and jello. I guess! :)

To me a good flan is one that has a very even texture. And I don't like it with "holes". See, some make it with little holes that form for some reason (water, air), but it still tastes great.

The next time I eat this I'll take a pic for you people.

[Madmal]

Flan? yeah, delicious dessert...though my gradma relies more on the boxed one, not sure about your case...

[FdL]

Sure, flan made out of commercial preparations is good too. But I eat homemade flan more often. My grandma makes a mean flan, and she brings it when we gather at my aunt's to eat roast (asado).

There's also commercial flan, in little cups like yoghurt, that's actually not tha bad.

[Cyrano]

....
I suppose now would be an EXCELLENT time to ask what a flan exactly is? I always had the idea it was vaguely like a trifle, except less cake, more custard.

[Yiel]

Mmmm you have me wanting to go home and dig out my Baba's recipe book. She used to make something very similar to a flan for me. (Technically she was a neighbour, but was like a third grandmother to me... she was responsible for me being such a tubby child )
