Classic Dad: Part 13: The Secret Chef

Whenever my  family has a party for like someone's birthday or a party for the holidays or whenever a relative comes over for the first time in a while, my Dad would always make flan. Dad isn't one of those professional chefs or anything like that. He is a regular Dad who can cook, but since he is rarely at home because of work, he rarely cooks. Dad is a night owl, so he makes his flan around midnight after coming home from work and in the morning we would have about 20 bowls of flan in the fridge. It's like Christmas morning, but with just flan. He doesn't make the flan from scratch, but instead he uses the Jell-O brand flan. There's no shame of using instant stuff. I think Dad changed the recipe a bit. For example, instead of milk, he would use half and half for taste and texture. Everyone loves them to the point where they would go for seconds or even thirds. Looks good right?
