Birthday Custard & Bear

For my brother-in-law's birthday dinner I took over a surprise for him:  chilled boiled egg custard.  I followed his grandmother's recipe.  You can find it here.  Since there were a lot of guests and we also were eating cake, we poured small amounts into some crystal glasses.  The rest I bet was gone in a few days!  Before dinner, we actually had another big surprise.  Be surely to follow the whole video until the bear climbs the fence.

Making Merit

 

I made these cupcakes and chocolate chip cookies to make merit for my sister at a local temple (really, meditation center).  She died two years ago.
