Dorie- I´m so happy you stopped by! I promise not to build a shrine just yet hahaha but they were terrific. My dad, who is more into salami and such than sweets, ate 3 squares, a total success I´d say. And I´m definitely happy to live in the land of great dulce de leche, it really goes well with most things, kind of like the parmesan cheese of the sweet world. Cheryl, Deborah, Tanna- I´m glad to be in such good company in the Dorie fan bandwagon ;) Gilly- haha I think they are both pure evil AND pure genius! Maite- None left for you this time around. You´ll get some when there´s a reprise, don´t worry. Mercedes- I looooove Mendoza, both the city and the province. So you have an available apartment in the city and you still haven´t visited in such a long time? That´s a terrible shame, you must start looking into getting cheap flights to Buenos Aires! Brilynn- hahaha well, I must say your plan is working worderfully so far. Lisa- I know, sorry about that, but hey, it was father´s day, and my dad deserves the best ;) Sil- Good tip! I actually haven´t eaten my beloved Conaprole in years because I haven´t found it in Buenos Aires yet. It´s actually my favorite dulce de leche ever, which is a lot to say. Peabody- Thanks! Your photos helped seal the deal on which recipe to make this time. Colleen- Just focus and it´ll be over in no time. Everyone must indulge once in a while ;) Patricia- hahaha yeah, they classify as one of those things that you can eat with your eyes. Meeta- I know, if only we all had terrific genes to eat like that every day.

I keep looking at the pictures and planning which recipe will be the next one... Tip: to thicken normal dulce de leche, adding a little bit of cornstarch diluted in cold milk will do. (Conaprole? where do you get it? isn't it uruguayo?) I totally agree with you about Dorie’s obsession!!! I keep looking at the pictures and planning which recipe will be the next one…

I'm eating salads and veggies and you are making things like this! They are screaming at me from my screen.. "EAT ME!" hehe 'kay well I haven't been 100% good (I don't want to get addicted to salads and veggies after all!) but nothing I've made in the dessert category looks as yummy as these! xoxo You guys are SO NOT FAIR!

P.S. I never answered the question you asked- my father's Argentine. He still lives there, with all his family in Mendoza, and we also keep an apt. in B.A. Unfortunately, I haven't been since I was a child, but hopefully someday!
