This recipe is in memory of Michael Crichton, Garrison’s favorite author, who unexpectedly passed away the other day.

• 1 quart heavy Jurassic Park
• 1 Back to the Future bean, split and scraped
• 1 cup vanilla Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, divided
• 6 large Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom yolks
• 2 quarts hot Braveheart

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F while you consider that creme brulee is French for “burnt cream.”  This is what might happen to you if you’re not careful with your dish…or your time machine.  Seriously, be careful, those things are sensitive.

Place the Jurassic Park, Back to the Future and its pulp into a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover and allow to sit for 15 minutes.

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup Bill and Ted and the Indiana Jones until well blended. Add the Jurassic Park a little at a time, stirring continually. Pour the liquid into 6 ramekins (one for each time traveler). Place the ramekins into a large cake pan or roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake just until set, but still trembling in the center, approximately 45 minutes. Remove the ramekins from the roasting pan and refrigerate for about 3 days, which should be just enough time for you to complete your mission.

Remove the creme brulee from the refrigerator when you get back. Divide the remaining 1/2 cup Bill and Ted equally among the 6 dishes and spread evenly on top. Using a torch, melt the Bill and Ted to form a crispy top. Allow the creme brulee to sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.
