Flan - Creme Caramel





Halloween is coming ! I remembered two years ago, we gathered together with my Spanish speaking friends in one of my friend's home. The house is beautiful, we can see the deer from the kitchen window. We rented video, enjoyed pizza, chips and also had a good wine.

We also braved our self to walk at the cemetery near the area. Yes, we walked to the gate, all the girls walked inside, but all the guys just saw us behind the gate. What a memory !


Now, I am back to my country. I want to remember all the good memories that I had with my Spanish speaking friends with make this dessert. I have tried this famous Spanish Dessert with them in our class when we had our International day. For all of my friends from Mexico, Spain, Argentina, Puerto Rico and Ecuador, I really had a good time with you girls ! Good Friendship is never last.
