Creme Brulee

I absolutely love good Creme Brulee. My friend Andy makes some fantastic Creme Brulee. He got a Creme Brulee set as a wedding gift and has experimented and made many types of Creme Brulee so far. I received a Creme Brulee set from my Mother-In-Law because my friend Derek was fond of saying that I make a fantastic Creme Brulee whenever we met new people. He was like Barney from How I met your Mother with the, “Drew makes a fabulous Creme Brulee.” It became a running joke among our friends and I thought that I would beat him at his own game and show up at a New Year’s party at his place with some Creme Brulee that I had made. But I got lazy and never made it, I returned the Creme Brulee set for a shirt for work. That was lame. I think I want to give it another shot now that I have seen what Andy can do with Creme Brulee.

Avast and Ahoy!

What better way to break up the constant Christmas movie posts then with a Pirate related post. I am hanging out at my In-Laws place today while Allison and her mom go for breakfast and Dan goes to pick up Allison’s grandparents. We are having a family meal tonight at Piccola (A fine Italian restaurant in Manchester, NH). Anyway that is neither here nor there at the moment. I’ll recap that meal later tonight. But before Marcia, Allison and Dan left they told me that I could have any of the books in the bookshelf upstairs. Books, I freaking love books. And Dan and I have similar taste in what we like for books. I was going to go through and list each and every book I will be acquiring but then I thought that maybe I would save that for when I read the books. However one caught my eye that I am very interested in reading right away. That one is called Under the Black Flag the Romance and the Reality of Life Among the Pirates. I am looking forward to reading this one. I love Pirate books and especially the true pirate stuff.
