From the recipe above: “Tres Leches Cake is a very moist cake filled with a mixture of “milks.” It is a favorite Mexican and South American Dessert. I got the recipe from Chela, my housekeeper who is from Mexico. The Cake preparation includes 3 parts: the cake, the filling, and the frosting.”

From what I read, the name comes from using milk in 3 different parts of the cake. Mine does not have fruit on it. Just the caramel glaze and a big, flaky piece of chocolate. It’s very pretty.

Reading the recipe the cake incorporates milk, cream, and condensed, sweetened milk. Thus! tres leches.

The world is falling into
Sheer chaos and insanity-
I’m not the only one I know
Looking to sell and flee

Further into the hinterlands
As the mob begins to squall
When their keepers abjure them
As if they’re nothing at all

They only have their uses
While there is money to throw-
If the trough is dry then no one
Cares where they eat or go

There is rain predicted and no work today-probably just as well, my back is still locking up enough to make sudden movement inadvisable...
