Cucumber and Cream Cheese Bagel Spread image

My passion is bagels, so I always come up with different ideas of what to serve on them. My husband and I enjoy this recipe in the mornings because it is easy to make and wonderful with a cup of your favorite coffee. Be sure to make this the night before and keep in refrigerator overnight before serving. The flavors will blend...

NATILLA - CUBAN CUSTARD

Another of my grandmother's recipes. We would eat this plain, as creme brulée, with fresh fruit, or used it as a filler for cake. I have translated this from a Spanish recipe, so bear with me if the wording is strange. I am guesstimating on the time as I have not made this myself in 10 years--my grandma always made it for me!
