Counting seconds… backwards - Crème caramel toute simple

[Simplest crème caramel]

When I look back, I realise that most of my days were spent lightly, even jokingly, complaining about how I never have enough time to turn all my ideas into real projects, how I’m always lacking that precious extra second.

Like drinking poison, like eating glass - Délicieux caramels mous au beurre salé
