400 ml milk
1 cinnamon stick, broken into several pieces
4 whole green cardamom pods

2 dissolve contents of custard mix into 125ml of milk and whisk until blended.
3 put remaining milk and whole spices in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.

5 bring just to a boil again, and keep stirring so no lumps form. the allow to simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

7 gently pour liquid into ramekins, making sure not to disturb the caramel coating the base of each one.
8 chill ramekins until set. (this takes approximately 45 minutes in my refridgerator.)
9 remove ramekins from refridgerator. put a serving plate against top of a ramekin, , hold them together, and flip them upside down in a fast motion so the creme caramel flops out of the ramekin and the serving plate. let it sit for a minute to allow the caramel to run over the custard before removing ramekin. repeat this for each serving.

Easy Carne Asada

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

Servings: 10
5 lbs flap steak
3 cups soy sauce
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 (12 ounce) can

Recipe

1 get your flap steak at a mercado (mexican market) or carniceria (mexican butcher) if one is available.
2 it will also be sold as carne asada ranchera.
3 if this isn't available, you may also purchase skirt steak at your local grocery store, but it's not quite the same.
4 the flap steak has the texture and fat content to come out'just right'.
5 mix your marinade together in a bowl large enough to hold all plus the meat.
6 place the meat in the marinade, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
7 grill the meat on high heat on your grill, until it is brown on both sides.
8 cook to a temperature you prefer.
9 for most this is well done, i happen to like it so it is stil juicy.
10 serve with flour or corn tortillas, and the sides you like, such as cheese, onions, hot sauce, etc.
11 i recommend fresh flour tortillas (probably at the same mercado you got the meat at), and by fresh, i mean made that day.
12 regular tortillas are ok, but fresh is better.
13 if you have a chevy's or don pablos or other restaurant that makes their tortillas fresh for their customers, go buy some.
14 it's usually about$2 per dozen, and well worth it.
