Note To Self #1

Why oh why do I do this to myself?  I made Tres Leches Cake (translation Three Milks) yesterday knowing that I am lactose intolerant.  I also know that I love this cake.  I cannot say no when it is around.  So what did I do?  My husband and I ate almost half of it yesterday.  I hurt all the way up to my ribs.  Every breath reminds me why I should NEVER eat that cake and yet I do.  Even now, I know it is in the fridge and I want just one bite.  Dare I go down that road again?  Can I have just one bite?

  2. Poor you! I have never eaten or even seen Tres Leches Cake....so I can't say I share you weakness. But I do understand your dilemma.

  4. Ann, This cake is a white cake that is soaked in a mixture of sweeteded condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, and rum (just a tad). Then you top it with whipped cream and cinnmon.

    I ate two bites, I couldn't resist. Now I am all congested.
