Dinner guests last night, so not much reading time. Began In the Devil's Garden - a sinful history of forbidden food by Stewart Lee Allen before dinner. Book is divided into chapters named for the seven deadly sins. I read lust and started on gluttony. Nothing new really, just a rearrangement of facts gleaned from other sources over the years, but of interest, I will finish it. Book has no index. Always a bad thing in my book.
Went through The Foodie Handbook (Pim Techamuanvivit) in bed this morning. Very pleased to see a recipe for Dulce de leche! Everyone in my Spanish class last year was going on about it and I have never eaten it. They all said that it was very like caramel (boiled condensed milk) and indeed, PT's recipe calls for a can of condensed milk and a vanilla pod. Will try as soon as mango pudding is finished (one serving left).
