34. TIPS:.
35. If you don't have a food processor, throw cookies in a zip bag and smash it to smithereens; candy bars too.
36. If you add the eggs to the pan before they're warmed up properly (tempered), you'll end up with scrambled eggs.
37. Warm them up slowly by adding the milk mixture a little at a time until they're quite warm.
