Alaska Air companion fare question - Alaska Forum. Alaska Air companion fare question. Many of you will recall that I got an Alaska Airlines credit card last year to take advantage of the $99 companion fare for our trip to Alaska a couple of months ago.
A ramekin (/ËrÃ¦mÉªkÉªn/, /ËrÃ¦mkÉªn/; also spelled ramequin) is a small glazed ceramic or glass bowl used for cooking and serving various dishes. The term is derived from French ramequin, originally a cheese- or meat-based dish baked in a small mold. The French term is derived from early modern Flemish rammeken, which translated to 'toast' or 'roasted minced meat', itself apparently from ram 'battering ram' + -kin 'diminutive', but it is unclear why.
Traditionally circular with a fluted exterior, ramekins can also be found in novelty shapes, including flowers, hearts or stars. Ramekins are usually designed to resist high temperatures, as they are frequently used in ovens, or in the case of crÃ¨me brÃ»lÃ©e, exposed to the flame of a cooking torch.
