Dulce de Leche and Superclasico

Dulce de Leche is a milk-based caramel also known as manjar blanco. A blancmange that can last several months when stored in cool shadows of a cellar or the refrigerator for the non-romantics. In the days of yore, a fire of kindling and charcoal was built in the patio. A tripod was set over it that supported an iron kettle. Four cups of milk to one cup of sugar was flavored with two vanilla beans and the peel of a lemon. This mixture was then boiled and stirred for hours after which the sweet or dulce was cooled and stored. Now try this recipe and tell us what it translates into ,-)

Oh boy! All the research you make us do with such slow internet connections. The superclasico is between Boca Juniors and River Plate. Btw, we saw River Plate in action on tv last night. Rival fans call the River Plate gallinas or hens or chicken and the Bocas are lovingly called bosteros or horse-shitters.

None of this is an attempt to prove that we´re not shacked up in a motel in Bakersfield, Ca. But you gotta give us some credit for the superfine photoshop jobs and the imaginative tale spinning :-)
