When I finally managed to make this recipe, the result was amazing, but I lost some Pyrex in the process. Keep physics in mind when you throw the milk/egg mixture into your hot pan--warm up the first and cool the latter! And add a teaspoon of vanilla for a great finish!

I've loved cooking all my life and had at least a bit of talent for it. As a child, the family diet consisted of items that came out of boxes and cans. Within that context, I excelled as far as I could. Later I moved to Korea and, separated from boxed mac and cheese and canned soup, I had to really learn. The experience delighted me. Who knew food could taste so good?
Back within the borders of the U.S., I tend to create dishes that use time-saving packaged foods while adding fresh ingredients to capture the best of both worlds. My kids are my critics and I rely on them to provide feedback on the quality of my food. My favorite feedback is when they say nothing at all except, mmmmmm as they consume their meal.
I first joined this site years ago when it was Recipezaar. Honestly, I still love that name, But regardless of what it's called, I love the site and love the cooking community it provides.
