When Amy and Gern were here last Friday night, on Cinco de Mayo, we kept the Latin American culinary theme going right on through dessert, when I brought out the Hilah Johnson version of Tres Leches Cake...its first appearance here in about three-and-a-half years. (More common, and making regular appearances over the holidays, is the eggnog tres leches cake...which is amazing.) Anyway: after stuffing ourselves with the housemade version of arroz con pollo, we waited a respectable interval before diving into sizable squares of this sweet milky spongecake goodness, adorned with fresh-made sweetened whipped cream. While we probably could not have physically ingested it, I think we all fantasized about the idea of taking on a second slice, frankly, but our better angels prevailed and we returned to our senses.
