Hi Justin,
First, love your glasses. And I'm rooting for you on the show. As a true disciple of food network, please keep creating amazing food and keep posting it on your site! My only complaint is that I'm single and your blog focuses a lot on couples cooking. But whatever, it's all good.
Second, I def going to try this recipe. I'm really intrigued. Just one question: I'm confused by the last sentence. Do you mean put it in ramekins then put plastic wrap. Or did you really mean put plastic wrap over the saucepan? Just want to make sure! Thanks!
Sorry, one more question: Can I use half and half instead of the whole milk?
I know it has more fat content, but I'm using it for something else and was curious if I could use it instead of having to buy milk as well. Thanks!
Been watching you on Food Network Star and I'm so excited you're posting your recipes on your blog! I love how I can actually try the dish the judges enjoyed. I'll definitely be rooting for ya on the show!
