"If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
Im so happy!
Thank you Lord!

That's what the Lord promised me this morning during my quiet time. Just the right motivation God gave me to continue and press on with all my endeavors. There were may times I felt hopeless with some situations in life     (work related stresses, problems at home interpersonal problems, financial problems and etc.) but today God gave me the perfect reason on not giving up praying for everything. Im so happy,very happy.
He also said in His word in Numbers 23:19
God is not human, that he should lie,
   not a human being, that he should change his mind.
Does he speak and then not act?
   Does he promise and not fulfill?

My Leche Flan Flop

I wish my leche flan looked like this one.....

I bought a can of condensed milk and saw a leche flan recipe. It sounded so simple I decided to buy 8 eggs, a can of condensed milk, 1/4 kilo white sugar, and 3 pcs of small llaneras to complete the whole puzzle of making the master piece.
I felt excitement, I was so thrilled I hurried home to make THE LECHEN FLAN.

I started making the caramel without water and the white sugar and left it on the pan, and did my egg yolk separation and mixing the condensed milk. After I mixed the egg yolk and the milk thoroughly I went to get the caramel and to my surprise I saw a stone like thing with the laddle immovable...tsk tsk tsk now what? I reheated the hardened caramel and placed it in the llaneras and poured the eggyolk mixture covered it with foil and the steamed for 30 minutes. It was a tense waiting moment, I kept testing it using the toothpick to see if it was done. I tried eating one llanera and it was soso though it may not look like the one sold in restuarants but to me it tasted like one, hehehehehe. And in the morning, I had difficulty removing the leche flan from the llaneras coz I realized I used very sticky caramel for that, I have to remove it from the top part of the flan coz it was really hard. The taste was soso also and \i have decided in my heart that I would make a better leche flan, I have another leche flan recipe and I just hope it would be good enough.

Rating for my leche flan: 3 ( 1-10 and 10 being the highest)
