Smells like Christmas

Although it's almost a month away, it smells like Christmas in our kitchen today. Meg tackled goulash first, made a huge pot that'll feed us for a week. Then she moved onto dessert.

Two years ago during our vacation in Barcelona, we tasted "crema Catalana" on many occasions. It featured in many photographs we took during the trip. We enjoyed it so obviously in those photographs that many of our friends on Facebook, having seen the photos on our profiles, asked what is that thing we're clearly enjoying so much. So, what is crema Catalana? It is a version of creme brulee specific for the Catalan region in Spain. No, it's not quite the same: it's lighter, less sweet and contains different ingredients than creme brulee. Tonight Meg found an original recipe and the result is six small pots filled with deliciously sweet yellow creamy substance. I can't wait to sink my spoon in it.
