Is that anything like crème brûlée?

Seems to be similar from the sound of it.

…and the look of it, too. The typical layer of caramelized sugar is missing. As @Dr_Do-Little posted crème caramel is a close relative.

Pretty much. I’ll go with @Curmudge0n on it.

Well, this day is safer:

  • Bow Tie Day
  • Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day
  • Radio Commercials Day

I am no fan of commercials and too young to remember Bifröst. So, what to post:

Bow ties are so underrated. I love it when men wear them!

Now that’s an endorsement. Some more of those and bow ties are well on their way to a comeback!

now where did I put those things, dammit

Problem might be that bow ties are currently considered either ultra-formal (weddings etc.) or as something old professors wear. Anyway, I like them better than ties, so a comeback would be well received.

Lol you right.
I saw someone wearing one the other day and got super excited. I made sure to tell him how nice it looked.
He pulled it off so well in that he didn’t look super formal, or like a professor, just a nice accessory to his outfit. Hopefully they make a come back.

Point taken. I don’t mind modern, but after a short search yielded two Hollywood classics…

And as a slightly enthusiastic Whovian it was physically impossible to pass the Matt Smith quote by. I just had to use that! It was stronger than me. :wink:

I rarely think about bow ties. (Actually almost bought one for my brother’s wedding :smiley: )
But when I do…

I’m told his recipe for chop suey is the best in the business!

Nah, that was his cousin, Chun Locke…

Badum-tsss

Edit: As a personal opinion, System Of A Down’s Chop Suey still can’t be beat.
