There was a postcard from Kirk in my mail today, which gave a lift to my evening, and then I checked my voice messages and found one from my aunt. She and my uncle are in town tonight through Saturday morning, so we're going to get together tomorrow night. They retired, sold their printing business, and bought a motor home. They've been touring 'round the country since December first. I knew they'd pass through here eventually, but hadn't quite expected them so soon, nor with so little notice. Still, I wasn't doing anything anyway except watching Rosa, and they'll want to see her, so it all works out nicely.

The only bummer is my failed attempt to make dulce de leche. The condensed milk in my pantry had apparently been there for a very long time and had gone all thick and nasty. Mental note: add condensed milk to the grocery list.

Dulce de Leche?

How does one make dulce de leche? I know what it is, but I don't know how one would go about making it.

I don't either, actually. Piglet said something vague about boiling for three hours, so I was going to try cooking the condensed milk over low heat as if I were caramelizing sugar, and see what happened. But the experiment will have to wait for another day.
