Girl's Night Tea Party

A glorious girl's night out...
a banquet table set before us!
This is my cell group ~ ladies who love the Lord!
We meet every Tuesday night and have the most fabulous
time fellowshipping, enjoying the most delicious food, sipping
tea, praying, discussing the Word, exhibiting hospitality,
and testifying about the wondrous works of God while
growing deeper in our relationship with Him.

Proverbs 17:27
As iron sharpens iron,
so one friend sharpens another.

The Creme Brulee Queen

Vanilla Creme Brulee
***
2 1/2 c half & half
8 egg yolks
2 t vanilla
1 1/2 c superfine sugar
3 T powdered sugar

Pour cream in a saucepan and heat until just before it reaches a boil.
Remove from heat and set aside.
Meanwhile, beat egg yolk and mix in vanilla.
In a separate bowl, mix together sugars and then add eggs.
With with a fork until thoroughly blended.
Reheat cream and gradually add to eggs and sugar.
Once completely mixed - pour through a sieve.
(this will ensure a smooth custard)
Divide custard into 6 oven-proof ramekins.
Place ramekins in a roasting pan.
*
Make a baking bath by pouring water 1/2 way up the side of the ramekins.
*
Bake @ 350 for approximately 1 hour.
(or until custard is set with a slight jiggle in the center)
*
Allow to cool in water bath - then remove to fridge and chill several hours.
*Top each custard bowl with 1-2 T granulated sugar.
Use a torch or the broiler to caramelize the sugar.
*
This makes the famous and decadent crunchy-sugary topping.
Your spoon should crack through the crisp layer into the creamy-dreamy custard!

I John 4:7
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.
Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

CONCETTA'S RECIPES

The Kitchenettes ~ A Hospitality Club

Romans 12:13
Pursue the practice of hospitality.

The Kitchenettes is all about teaching and mentoring young girls in the art of hospitality. It is so much more than cooking or doing domestic tasks ~ hospitality is the very heart of God ~ a demonstration of pouring His love onto others. This group of young girls are learning the very nature and character of God as they serve people and sharpen their skills in homemaking.
