Aw, thanks. Apparently the pattern was somewhat subtle; not a lot of folks realized the design…

Then again, going by the “Picture of the Day” here my newfound penchant for wearing classy-but-nerdy ties at comics conventions is probably in no danger of being overlooked…

If you're making a traditional flan, the caramelized sugar should be solid, cooled to about room temperature before you pour in the custard. If it's hot, it will cook the custard that comes in direct contact with it before you even bake it, giving you inconsistent texture. And the secret to getting the most of the awesome post-baking caramel sauce when you serve the desert is to let it set in the refrigerator for two days after backing, if you can. Covered, of course.

I haven't tried any of the recipes, but they look plausible though maybe slightly difficult if you're not a reasonably experienced cook. For instance, for the flan recipe it doesn't really say anything about how to time it so the caramel sauce is ready when it's time to pour the flan over it.
