Isn't it amazing how you can look back over the past year through your pictures (and your blog)?!
I really love the fact that this blog has documented things that I would have totally forgotten otherwise (like how Baby Girl used to call go-gurt soop-mario).
I was thinking while reading everyone's recaps that I hadn't really sewn that many quilts this year but after looking at my pictures I realized I was wrong.
Some were for friends...
and family
my kids....
and I even gave one away.
I joined a quilting bee (and have another one set to start in January)
and used a long-arm quilting machine.
I have worked up quite a stash this year thanks to all the fabric goodness that is out there right now
and 2009 will be a fun time to use some of it up.
I made a call before I left for Costco last night (which was CRAZY) and turns out the theme this year is Mexican (not Japanese - I'm still crying about no tempura).
So I'm making enchiladas and Tres Leches and thought I'd give you the recipe I use. I have a Spanish cookbook so I'm going to translate it as I type. Hopefully it will make sense.
Happy New Year!!
TRES LECHES
Cake:
1 box white cake mix (or yellow is fine too)
(and whatever other ingredients needed to make cake - as listed on box)
MIlk "sauce":
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
1/2 pint of whipping cream
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup rum (if desired - I never add any to mine)
Sweetened Whipped Cream:
Whipping cream (I never measure - just pour in a good amount)
4 tsp. sugar
Preparation:
Prepare box cake mix according to package directions. After it is done, remove from oven and pierce with a fork all over the top of the cake.
While cake is cooking, prepare sauce. Put all milk sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and stir until mixture is almost to the boiling point (but don't allow it to boil). Remove from heat and pour mixture on top of cake. Allow to cool completely.
Whip whipping cream and sugar together until mixture is thick and then spread on top of cake. Enjoy!!
