By Suzanne A. Marshall from the January 2012 Edition
OK flan lovers, I should have shared this with you before Christmas as a gift, but having left my laptop at the LA airport security on the way to Manzanillo, access to another computer has been limited. Anyway, my husband Allan is a flan ‘officiando’ and this is his favorite. It’s mine too because it’s so easy. But if your New Year resolution is to lose weight, as Tony Soprano would say ‘fogedaboudit’! (Or just have a tiny piece)….Suzanne
