I can't let this thread pass without imagining an Infinite Number of Flaming Rum Monkeys [brazenhussies.net].

Zamphir's Awesome Maple-Nut Flan
(proportions stolen from Rick Bayliss, Awesome soley by Zamphir)
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup milk
4 large egs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, or seeds from 1/4 vanilla bean
3/4 cup REAL maple syrup
3/4 cup nuts, chopped. Hazelnuts, Pecans or Walnuts preferred
Put the maple syrup into a pan. Bring to a boil, turn heat down to simmer and reduce by half or so until the syrup is nice and sticky/thick/caramelly.
Line the bottom of 6 custard cups (or one large flan dish) with equal portions of maple syrup. Set aside.
Place milk, half-and-half, sugar and nuts (and vanilla bean seeds, if using) in a sauce pan. Bring to simmer over medium heat, and cook until the milk starts to take on some color and flavor from the nuts. Or bring to a simmer, cover and remove from heat and let sit for 20 minutes. Either way, the idea is to make a milk/nut tea.
Strain the nuts from the milk. Whisk in the eggs (and vanilla extract). Strain again to remove eggy bits, and pour into your custer dishes.
Heat oven to 325. Get a baking pan large enough to hold your custard dishes and at least as tall as dishes. Put dishes in pan. Put pan in oven. Pour hot water in around dishes until it comes halfway up. Lay a sheet of foil over the top, don't crimp.
Bak about 25 minutes until barely set. Remove from oven, let cool in water. Remove from water, refrigerate to cool completely, or eat now.
Unmold onto plate, and enjoy.
