It it’s Friday, it must be France …
During the next two weeks there will be many gold medals awarded at the Olympic Games in London, England.
As I was making my favourite dessert for a dinner party the other evening, I was watching previews about the Games. It occurred to me that the crème brulée

I was preparing was more than worthy of a gold medal. I first tasted this dessert in France more years ago than I care to remember and if it’s on a menu I’m a goner. It took a while to find just the right recipe to prepare at home. Oo-la-la! I’m not the greatest dessert-maker but this recipe is foolproof.
Here’s the recipe I swear by from FoodNetwork.com. Bon appetit!
To what recipe would you award a gold medal? Were you watching the Opening Ceremonies for the 2012 London Olympics this afternoon, like I was? Here’s the link to the website for schedules and news about all the events. Are you inspired by the amazing athletes each time the Olympics come around? Although I appreciate their tremendous talent and don’t miss any of the competitions ( let’s hear it for Tivo!), even more so I love hearing the stories of their personal journeys. I’m not a big television watcher but I’ll be glued to the Games for the next two weeks. Will you?
