Craziness still abounds in my corner. Our days are full of un-fun ventures like choosing private health insurance. I made some Strawberry Rhubarb pie today in a miniature effort to make my life seem fun. My grandma has an ancient volunteer rhubarb plant that has lived at her house longer than she has. I have lots of memories of picking rhubarb and chewing it raw (sour!) as a child. So it should not surprise me that all of my children enjoy sucking on lemons. My pie today was excellent, but it was made in a hurry and not quite pretty enough for pictures. I froze one pie filling, so if the last pie is pretty enough when I make it, I will share my most excellent recipe post haste. Those willing to accept a recipe without a picture are welcome to file a complaint with my vanity department.
But you know what was pretty? The Mango Tres Leches Cake I made for enrichment last week. And it was yummy too. And mangos are in-season and on sale most places. So go make one and tell me how it compares with the last tres leches cake you ate. Because I was impressed. (And I just substituted extra heavy cream for the alcohol. I don't happen to have any lying around.)

Your pretty photo requirement makes me laugh, but I can't say I haven't done the same thing. My husband and I ate a whole pudding pie last week because it didn't look nice enough to take to a dinner party.
i love me some good rhubarb deserts.... : )
i've got a friend that bake things with during our occasional free time here. we've done all manner of chocolate. i think i'll grab your mango tres leche recipe and get back to you on that.
h.s.f., you owe it to yourself as part of your experience on earth to try a tres leches cake.
