A couple new things

I know I haven't posted in a while... there hasn't been much cooking done in the little kitchen in the studio "apartment" (its really a dorm) that we have. But I do have a couple of pictures to share.

First, before we left Champaign, Mike and I made creme brulee. I don't know why, we were bored, and with a Meijer 200 yards away, why not. Why yes, I can buy ramakins and a flame thrower 5 minutes from my house.



One of them didn't set, but they turned out nicely overall. I want to flavor them next time.



We also made some fried olives.



Mmmm.



Next time, I really would like to do black olives or at least fresh ones... these tasted very briney.
