You are right - it is rare for people to candidly express such a specific cand personal compliment, and a sad reflection of our society that we are (or at least I would be!) immediately suspicious of the complimenter's motives. I have taken to saying nice things to people more often, to their faces rather than to others about them. If I think people are fab I want them to know!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325204219395014329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589144729472463179.post-75942189859276275822009-10-14T07:31:22.287-04:002009-10-14T07:31:22.287-04:00I feel so close to your story, it reminds me of mi...I feel so close to your story, it reminds me of mine itself.

Thanks so much-- I try my best ;)<br /><br />Jabulani: You're very welcome- do tell me how it turns out okay? ;)<br /><br />Holly: I've only known my friend 7 years, but he's the kind of friend I wished I knew since I was a kid. I love him that much :)<br /><br />Arwen: Unsweetened coffee- genius! :) Treasured memory like the person who sent it :)<br /><br />Claire: You killed your cholesterol? Let's hope he doesn't come back! ;)<br /><br />Mom: Oh no! Just go low and slow, and your flans will always get there :) (and don't believe recipes with too little sugar- or too many egg whites!)<br /><br />Chriesi: Aw, thanks!<br /><br />Pei Lin: I have it always with me :)<br /><br />Mikky: The flan is fantastic but friends I'd rather have, heh heh :)<br /><br />TS: Haha, yes to both!<br /><br />Faith: It helps that I don't have work right now! Hahaha :)<br /><br />Jaden: Thank you! Coming from you that means a lot! I hope you give the desserts (and the, uh, big fires) a shot.<br /><br />Steph: Aw, thanks.

But then again, we still succumb to boredom even as adults...<br /><br />Amy: It is special, and I hope everyone is as lucky :) Thanks so much! I am loving these dark backgrounds :)<br /><br />Anne: I only wish I hadn't been impatient with the baking, then it would be doubly perfect!<br /><br />Deeba: Oh, I am sure you don't like me when I'm grumpy :) I find it sweet that your hub also does it-- that's rare. Hugs!<br /><br />Divina: Yah, I'm glad my family's such flan addicts, otherwise I would never have been able to finish it!<br /><br />Elra: Ah, try winter! Your oven will be working overtime!<br /><br />Dawn: Haha, I'm not sure how it bothers you in a good way :) I wish I could save the times when people rave about my cooking, though!<br /><br />Kevin: It is! I hope you give it a try ;)<br /><br />Pam: Aw, thank you, that's so sweet! And I am such a sentimental fool, aren't I? :) I wish I could feed you my desserts!!<br /><br />Sara: Hmm, now it's my turn to ask you if you're one of those who are afraid, hehe :) This flan can't be bitten-- it just melts seductively!<br /><br />Tracey: Thanks so much! :)<br /><br />Caitlin: I know! I could actually use a hug right now, hehe :) Oh geez, your frosting-loving work friends?! Forget it!! Don't worry about the egginess, it's alllll good!<br /><br />Anda: Aww, shucks. I'm flattered. But my friend is a much greater guy, that much I can attest to. I hope the texture is still good with less sugar!<br /><br />SimplePleasures: The sad thing is I tell myself it's easier with the internet, but the truth is I barely find the time to contact him :( This is worth it!<br /><br />Lauren said: Wow! Thanks so much for dropping by, I'm glad!<br /><br />Mel: Let me know what you think of it! :) (And don't forget the water, lol)<br /><br />Marc: Yes, that is exactly what happened-- it is that creamy. I'm amazed it held its shaped. Puddingy is not a word, hehe.<br /><br />Linda: I know! I was quite impressed by it too-- made for a weird photo though, haha :) I think it's not just cos it's DDL that it's so sweet-- really the overall ratio of sugar to milk.<br /><br />Piggy: You're welcome and thanks for all the kind words! :)<br /><br />Peabody: Hee hee! Thanks- it was!<br /><br />Meeta: Ah, I can't wait to see it! :)<br /><br />Nirmala: Aw, that's so nice! I really need to back up my phone again, heh :)<br /><br />Mia: Thanks so much! If we cannot succeed to make what is intricate- simply be perfect in simplicity, eh? :)<br /><br />Jennifer: Indeed! I hope you have a few treasured ones of yours as well :)<br /><br />Joey: Hee hee, do it over 2 days ;) I hope you find that time to spend for your friends too :)<br /><br />Dr. Em: Yes- required plenty of penance ;)<br /><br />Noodle: Ah yes, but this guy over here revealed what he thought about me 2 meetings in. I guess he was also very adept at looking into my soul- he knew I would not betray him by dismissing his honesty. I guess we were meant to be close friends after all. Have a cookie while making the DDL, hehe :)<br /><br />Maria: This flan is much creamier than the rest- give it a try if you like creme brulee or custards.<br /><br />Sunny: Thank you so much!<br /><br />Dhanggit: I'm not sure I do-- I hope I do, but more than that, I hope they appreciate me for who I am.<br /><br />Lisa: Thanks so much! I wonder what your grandma will think of this over the top one! :)<br /><br />Ali: Uh, I'm not sure how that could happen! I don't text while peeing!<br /><br />Lemongrass: You won't burn your kitchen!! Hahaha. If you have an electric burner, putting it at its lowest setting does a great job of the DDL.<br /><br />Debbie: Thanks so much!<br /><br />Julia: This was my second time to make it-- truly heavenly stuff! :)<br /><br />Foodcreate: Thanks! I'll... forward it to Mallmann, heh<br /><br />Syrie: One thing I learned- if anything ever completely absorbs your life, it better be worth it! Otherwise, always make time for others :)<br /><br />Helen: Lol, I like it when food becomes personified to you, hehe :)<br /><br />Cynthia: Me and Sade! Ha ha ha.<br /><br />Spryte: Thanks so much!<br /><br />Susan: Two words: Thank you! ;)<br /><br />Alice: Wait till you TASTE it! ;)Manggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977929776424593762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589144729472463179.post-76395232507835369162009-08-28T23:52:58.098-04:002009-08-28T23:52:58.098-04:00That was so beautifully written.
