Pastel De Tres Leches - The Daring Baker Challenge September 2013
Inma was our Sept. 2013 Daring Bakers’ hostess and WOW did she bring us
something decadent and delicious! Pastel de Tres Leches or Three Milk Cake, creamy yet airy, super moist but not soggy.. just plain delish!
What can I say ... delish it is! Thank you, Inma.
I actually didn't know until this challenge that the '3 milks' were infused into the baked cake. I thought it was part of the batter. Duh.
Since this is the first time I tried making a tres leches, I made the plain sponge cake, plain whipping cream frosting. I barely sweeten the cream to balance the sweetness of the cake. Yum yum yum.

Gnocchi - The Daring Cook Challenge September 2013
Todd, who is The Daring Kitchen’s AWESOME webmaster and an amazing cook,
is our September Daring Cooks’ host! Todd challenged us to make light
and fluffy potato Gnocchi and encouraged us to flavor the lil pillows of
goodness and go wild with a sauce to top them with!
PB and J weren't too keen on the gnocchi served with a choice of cilantro pesto and marinara for lunch.
(I know, it wasn't too appetizing on the picture either, but "I" love the cilantro pesto.)
I tossed the left over gnocchi in olive oil, onion and shrimp for dinner and that was a bigger hit with the boys, especially PB.
It's a fulfilling challenge overall. Thank you, Todd!

PB and J Japanese Dessert Adventure
Yuzu Balls and Green Tea Tiramisu for dessert at Soto Japanese Restaurant.
"Really? We should wait 3-5 minutes for best taste? Oh well, OK. We'll start with the green tea tiramisu."
"Well? Has it been at least 3 minutes? What?! No?"
"Seriously, how much longer?"
"Now we're talking!"
