Hey Sig! the lesson about giving second chances is alwasy a hard one to learn:), but glad you benefited from your training!

the pistachio flan looks really really nice..and I’ve tasted it and felt it to be “too eggy” myself…so maybe now it’s my time to give it a second chance! :wink:

NICE! yes, nice. So, I can see why it would bother you when people don't reciprocate in kind... also, in my experience, i have taken things literally and been over-sensitive and it seems like a waste of my energy... anyway, gawd, i wish i had your energy and creativity to make desserts! they look lovely!

I've never made flan myself but yours reminds me of my dad's famous (in our family) leche flan. Dad loves pistachios, maybe if I send him some he'll make me flan when he visits next time! :razz: <blockquote> oh lucky you, I'm sure ur dad's version sounds delicous! ask him to add pistachios next time, it is a wonderful variation on the classic.</blockquote> That was brilliant how you tied your training with deciding to post this picture and recipe!

oh lucky you, I’m sure ur dad’s version sounds delicous! ask him to add pistachios next time, it is a wonderful variation on the classic.

Re: flan - I love the imperfections in the picture! And I'm the same - hated flan on first taste, but am growing to really savor the flavors now. And this looks deeeelish! :) <blockquote> Thanks Kaykat, good to see u here :) </blockquote> I can see where you’re coming from, I’ve contemplated the whole “cut someone out if I can’t deal with them” thing often, sometimes it works, other times it doesn’t, but learning why we react the way we do seems to go a long way in making things easier.

It takes lot of experience to come to terms with realities of life! If you can accept your self as you are, you can accept others too!:)) Everyone needs to improve ourself for our own peace and happiness! Peach flan is looking delicious!:)) :grin: <blockquote> That is very insightful, thanks Latha.. </blockquote> Very true that training helps us to understand ourself!

I dont think theres anything wrong in cutting unwanted people out of our lives.... We only end up getting reminded of unpleasant situations often, if we remain in touch w/ them.. what say? and btw, lovely dessert!!! :smile: <blockquote> Hi Ramya, so good to see you :) Its been a while.... Hope you are doing great! I know what you mean, but I think I've been a little too tough on people... sure if I think someone is intentially trying to hurt me, I'd definitely cut them off :) but I am just trying to cut them a bit more slack... </blockquote> You know what??

I used to give others 5th and 6th chances as well :shock: , perhaps even more than that...but gradually,I've realised that it was probably a bit too much...people tended to take it for granted and don't realise it :cry: ...I now stick to the second or third ...life's lessons learnt. And that happens to be one of my favourite desserts...my mom was so good at making this...I've one in my blog as well...and btw, I don't seem to see any imperfections in yours...looks delish to me :drool: <blockquote> :) u have(had) a lot of patience Sunita... Yeah, I believe in second chances now, have to still figure out about third ;) baby steps, right? :) ... </blockquote> Sig,it’s been the other way round for me… I used to give others 5th and 6th chances as well :shock: , perhaps even more than that…but gradually,I’ve realised that it was probably a bit too much…people tended to take it for granted and don’t realise it :cry: …I now stick to the second or third …life’s lessons learnt.

The flan looks fantastic, what edges are you talking about? :) <blockquote> :) thanks Mandira, I am definitely getting wiser with age ;) </blockquote> Sig, you’re right about second chances… and rather brave to admit it!
