Oooh I do love a nice crème brûlée (Googled that just to get the accents right!)

*GuruGuru214* · 12/14/2011, 03:38 pm

You Googled for the accents on "crème brûlée" (copied and pasted from yours), but not to find out what ramekins are? Impressive.

Yeah, I was going to get her the Lego Diagon Alley, but she's been talking about how she wants things for the new house she's trying to get, and she keeps bringing up how she'd like to make crème brûlée, so it seemed like a good gift. The ramekins are her Christmas present, and the kitchen torch is her birthday present three days later.

Are ramekins particularly obscure?

*GuruGuru214* · 12/14/2011, 03:43 pm

In my experience, most people won't know what they are unless either they watch a lot of Food Network or you call them "crème brûlée cups". They're one of those things that everyone knows what they are but nobody knows the name for them.

We call them 'wee bowls'.

Rather Dashing · 12/14/2011, 03:44 pm

Ah, that makes sense.

EDIT: I was referring to Guru's post, but yes, they do look like tiny bowls. =P

I knew the name of them but didn't know they were used for crème brûlée. I use them to make little pumpkin custard things or as bowls for Ice Cream.

Heh, try having a little brother who's birthday is Christmas Day! XD

We have to do loads of shopping for him!
Though, he's much easier to shop for. He literally makes a list of what he wants.
So I got him 2 3DS games. Ridge Racer 3D, and Sonic Generations
eh, at least I can play them too once he gets bored and vice versa.

(Hopefully we'll build up a nice library between us)

Did an exchange today if that counts.
Managed to go back to the store to switch the red 3DS we already got him for a blue one. (He REALLY wants a blue one. The sneaky git saw the red one, and has been dropping very unsubtle hints that he'd rather prefer it in blue. GAH! Such a pain... :/)

That's odd, you have the same birthday as my mom.

Well my parents used to own a restaurant (and I worked there briefly) so I have some knowledge of stuff like that. Plus I own some ramekins myself. Also, my mother makes a good crème brûlée.

Also, I feel a bit better with my brother's birthday being a massive 9 days before Christmas after reading the last few posts.

I share MY birthday with an aunt!

...can't trump being a middle child, though.

I'm a middle child. Also, have you ever been so annoyed by an avatar that you create an AdBlock instance just for that one avatar? I did and I won't tell anyone who it was for fear I'd get banned. Fuck it, you can Skype it out of me.

And you just have the same name as my brother, christian and surname. What's next? Jake Rodkin was everyones father and we all grew up at the same orphanage but somehow we all forgot?

That's a lot more likely than a lot of the gubbins I've seen occur around this forum. For example, my once infamously long signature has been truncated. BEHOLD IT!

Limbo on Steam. Knowing my luck, it'll end up in an Indie Bundle before long, but meh. I've spent more on less.

Also, will people stop letting me have the highest bid for a day on eBay only to appear out of nowhere and outbid me 30 seconds before I win it? It's happened twice now and it does nothing but piss me the fuck off. I do have a limit to what I'll pay, people! Stop leaving it to the last second to find out what it is! Gah!

Heh. You just don't seem to have much strategy.

My advice dude. Never bid on an item till the last 30 or so seconds.
(Unless you can't watch it to the end, then you may get lucky)

Just add it to the watch list, and watch it when it gets near the end.

You have to be a shark on ebay. And don't be afraid to haggle on a buy it now.
(though most of the time, people just have unrealistic expectations on the value of the stuff they sell...)

Its either that, or do a buffer bid at the last minuite or so.
Anticipate what your opponents will bid, and bid a few moves ahead.
(I've gotten some good stuff that way, countering those last seconders! XD)
