I baked all day today to get the Vegan Gluten-free Flan Patissier completed. For those of you who only took one year of high school French (like I did) that means French Custard Cake. It was a long day making sure it was all correct. I finally got it in the oven and the directions were bake "20 -50 minutes" depending on your oven. No other directions. I never baked a custard type cake before and I didn't know what it was supposed to look or act like when it was done. I kept baking it. I finally took it out when it looked sort of done and not as "wiggly". It turns out it was done, I think. I am not a flan or custard fan so this will definitely be going to the neighbors and dog walker. I tried it and it is okay but give me a chocolate cake any day.
The crust got a little wonky. I never baked with a gluten-free crust before. It tastes fine, it is just falling apart.
I realized that I never gave my review of Jungle Cruise the Disney movie. Here goes. I really enjoyed it as a fun movie with no expectations. I see it as a cross between Pirates of the Caribbean and Romancing the Stone and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. There was a little bit of suspended belief, a lot of laughs and a very, very small amount of thrill. I enjoyed it for a Saturday night movie. It kept me awake (which is the main thing) and I had fun.
No time for a walk today. I was busy doing this baking plus the air quality is bad from the fires. We may not be going outside for walks for a few days. We may be staying inside with windows and doors closed and air purifiers on. The best things I bought last year. Just thankful we have electricity from the sun gods.
Until tomorrow...
