That would makes sense because either the pan was off to one side, though still on the burner, or it's the fact that there's a slight tilt in my house. <BR/><BR/><B>Amy</B> - Thank you!<BR/><BR/><B>Eatme_delicious</B> - I thought it was odd because I kind of expected the lumps to be noticeable when I ate the custard. I didn't want it to be lumpy, though. It set nicely and was thick without being runny or Jell-O-like (which is fine when I'm eating Jell-O, but not what I want for a custard).Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361819186011561670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060755630800309245.post-31846444489066384492007-11-04T02:10:00.000-05:002007-11-04T02:10:00.000-05:00Why was it odd that your custard wasn't lumpy like...Why was it odd that your custard wasn't lumpy like tapioca? I think it looks good! This custard wasn't meant to be the really thick kind anyway. I agree that the star pattern of the chocolate over the cake looks nice, and topped with tangerine peel even better! And the fact that the cake sunk into the custard was a benefit (to me anyway), because I thought the whole thing tasted better the next day after the custard had time to soak into the cake.eatme_delicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14657772782487330009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060755630800309245.post-62392988807873701162007-11-02T22:01:00.000-04:002007-11-02T22:01:00.000-04:00Great job on your first challenge!

Unfortunately we only use for company now as we got the Breville espresso machine - after 3 weeks in Paris last year we needed good espresso, daily! As well, we used the Moka in Paris on an electric stove and it was just fine!
