I used to make creme brulees when I worked at the Back Inn Cafe, which I stopped doing more than two years ago. Since then, I've made em once, about a year ago, and did it from memory, which led to disaster, though in the end was successful. I'm trying again tonight, since I'm having people over on Thursday night.
I've advertised halibut and sushi, which aren't hard, especially regarding the halibut, since I have a lot I caught while in Alaska. Creme brulee, though, even when I was making em regularly, would go wrong for no reason at all.
