Last night I was standing in the kitchen with my mother making Baked Alaska. For those who don't know, it's a yummy pudding made from flan base, vanilla ice-cream and a meringue topping :) mmmmm.
Anyway, she raised a rather random point, as mother does...

If a flan base can keep the ice-cream from melting in a burning hot oven, could it be used to keep you warm when worn in winter??

Now, of course, she wasn't being serious. Well, at least I hope not, otherwise the Special home will be getting a new resident very soon lol. But it still made me think...
