God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Jesus loved the enthusiast, the man who knew what side he was on and threw himself whole-heartedly into the struggle. He liked energetic action, as in the men who climbed the roof and broke a way through for their paralyzed friend, or in Zacchaeus who forgot his dignity and swarmed up a tree. He loved the generous giver. All four Gospels quote His saying, 'He who loves life loses it; he who spends keeps.' It sums up His attitude to life. He praised the man who banged on the door till he got an answer; He wanted men to show that kind of determination in the affairs of religion. He praised the widow who badgered the unjust judge into doing justice. He did not like playing for safety or burying one’s talent. It is the peace-makers rather than the peace-keepers whom He blesses. Goodness is a positive active loyalty (Hugh Martin).

INSTRUCTIONS
CARAMEL
CUSTARD
This is the ultimate coconut dessert++an adaptation of the classic
"Creme renversee", or "Flan au caramel". The technique used is
distinctly French but the flavors are all Vietnamese.
This custard is at its best when prepared a day in advance and
refrigerated so the flavors can mellow. If you just can't wait, you
might try the Vietnamese method of rapid cooling for dishes such as
this: place a small scoop of shaved ice on top of each custard before
serving!
Preheat the oven to 325F.
Make the caramel: Cook the sugar in a small heavy saucepan over low
heat, swirling the pan constantly, until brown. Stir the hot water
into the caramel, being careful to guard against splattering (the
mixture will bubble vigorously). Boil the mixture, swirling the pan
occasionally, until the sugar is thoroughly dissolved, about 2
minutes.
Pour the caramel syrup into a 1-quart souffle dish or five 4-ounce
ramekins. Tilt the molds to coat all of the surfaces with caramel.
Make the custard: Combine the coconut milk, milk and sugar in a
medium saucepan over low heat. Scald until the sugar dissolves
completely. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla. Gradually whisk the hot
coconut milk mixture into the eggs, blending thoroughly.
Strain the custard through a fine sieve into a bowl. Carefully pour
into the caramel-lined souffle dish or ramekins.
Line a large roasting pan with 2 layers of paper towels (see Note).
Put the souffle dish in the roasting pan and add hot water to reach
halfway up the side of the dish. Bake in the center of the oven for
50 minutes (30 minutes if using ramekins), or until a knife inserted
in the center comes out clean. Be careful not to let the water boil;
do not disturb the custard while baking. This is the only "secret"
to producing a smooth and velvety custard.
Remove the souffle dish immediately from the hot water. Allow to
cool in a cold-water bath. Chill thoroughly.
To serve, run a knife around the edge of the custard and turn out onto
dessert plates. Serve with shaved ice or whipped cream, if desired.
Note: The paper towels in the roasting pan serve a twofold purpose:
First, they allow the hot water to circulate under the souffle dish
while baking to distribute the heat evenly; second, if using small
ramekins, it stabilizes them and keeps them from moving around while
baking.
Yield: 5 servings.
