Tres Leches

2009-09-28T19:29:47-07:00

1 cake mix

make cake mix as directed by recipe. Vanilla or milk chocolate work very well.
After the cake cools, poke holes in it with a fork

Topping

1 cp condensed milk
1 cp heavy cream
1 cp evaporated milk

Mix the 3 milks together and pour over the top of the cake. For best results, let sit overnight.

Frosting

2 cp heavy cream
bakers sugar (to taste)
mexican vanilla (to taste)

I usually blend the heavy cream till it's think (see video if you aren't sure) and then add a little sugar and vanilla at a time (mix & taste until just right)
I typically top with fruit of some sort. Some combinations that I've tried.....
- fresh pineapple and toasted coconut
- fresh strawberries with mint (can either chunk it or puree and blend with frosting)
- raspberries and mexican chocolate shavings

This is the original recipe/video I used for my tres leches recipe. I have added a few modifications that I've noted above.

Dark

2009-09-12T19:04:37-07:00

Touch of hand
Touch of heart
Touch of lips
In the dark

A dream it was
A dream it is
A stream of clarity
Through the dark

Wings....

2009-08-15T12:38:22-07:00

For a friend.....

"You’re wings are not gone
Or clipped
Or withered

They are there
Whole
Beautiful
Amazing

You haven’t opened your eyes though
Fear hides them
Pain folds them

Stretch your hand out
To touch
Feel them there?"

Change - run or crawl

2009-07-17T12:58:27-07:00

"Change may open a door but a leisure walk through it is rarely involved.
You either run at full tilt with your fear nipping at your ankles or
crawl while the baggage of your thoughts weigh you down.
Regardless - you can and will make it through the door."

- Penny Relding

Camping

2009-07-17T12:54:49-07:00

My neighbor here at the campground is interesting. He has candles all over his campground and a huge supply of camping gear.

Am enjoying the fire. Off to bed soon though. I'm curious to try a state park in the future.

Day 2 continued

2009-07-14T12:54:57-07:00

All total so far...667 miles this trip. Some winds today but pretty
much any time you cross South Dakota - expect winds.

The reunion is in Deadwood, SD. Dad showed up an hour late due to his
tire tread peeling off of the tire. Just had the same thing happen
last week on a rear tire....bummer.

After supper we ended up with heavy rain and hail. Not that fun for
camping when the tent is leaking. Oh well....

Family reunion trip day 2

2009-07-14T12:51:15-07:00

We started the day by jumping out of bed, throwing some clothes on and
herding cattle (with 3 four-wheelers and a pickup).

I drove the pickup some and I feel a bit surrounded.

Wishes & Regrets

"...regrets are just wishes in a past tense and about as productive. Don't wish - dream it and do it. Don't regret - come to peace inside yourself and grow." - Penny Relding
