I did it!

[wiseheart]

I actually managed to make dulce de leche by simply boiling a tin of sweetened condensed milk for three hours! I didn't really believe that it would work - it seemed too easy - but it did. Next time I'll perhaps boil the stuff half an hour less; a somewhat thinner consistency would have been better, but even so, it worked, and my alfajores cookies are absolutely delicious.

I also made the remaining two biscuits; all that's left to do for tomorrow is a bit of decoration. I'm accordingly dead on my feet but so happy to be done!

The muse clearly appreciated the end of the baking frenzy because she inspired me to write a page and a half last night and this afternoon, respectively. Success!!!
