Yesterday my brother's girlfriend came over for dinner for the first time. I was in charge of dessert. I decided that I needed to use my blowtorch again so it looked like a variation on creme brulee was on the menu. I decided on a low fat fruit brulee thingy (partly from a recipe but mainly experimental) and after a trial run the night before was happy that it would all work out well. So yesterday morning I put together the bit that isn't the burning sugar and chilled until it was time for dessert. But the master stroke of my plan was that everyone had to flame their own brulee. See I was thinking that if I went to someone's house for dinner and they were making my dessert with a blow torch, I'd be a bit jealous and want to try it out. So we passed the blow torch round and everyone flamed their own dessert.

I can't think why the girlfriend was scared of me when she first met me. I mean, really!
