oh yes, i discovered dulce de leche a couple of years ago. full of tasty tasty nom - Imabug

heh. - Jim the Blatant

here we are http://www.geobeats.com/videocl... - Johni Fisher

I ate so much dule de leche when I was in Argentina it's a wonder I fit in the plane seat on the way back home! I was gratified to learn, though, that the way I make it at home is exactly the way my co-workers grandmothers made it there. - FFing Enigma

one day when u will visit us here in BA go to http://www.persicco.com its the best of the best :-)) - Johni Fisher

Ooooh!!! I barely spent any time in BA when I was there, so it's my number one travel destination once we're able to afford such a trip. Hopefully I'll get to meet some of our Argentine FriendFeeders when we make our way down =D - FFing Enigma

It will b gr8 to host u here, BA is so gr8 place to live - Johni Fisher

Then Johni, I look forward to it =) Most of my time in BA was spent driving from the international to the domestic airport (plus I slept a night in EZE, but that's a different story altogether). But other than that, all my time was in Córdoba. - FFing Enigma

Two words = ice. cream. - Mona Nomura

Recipe plz!!! - Bec Rowe @d0tski

When u plan to come ? what r u doing ? it was a trip or 4 work ? - Johni Fisher

Oh, I didn't make the ice cream. Breyer's did all the work there. However, if you mean the dulce de leche itself, that's easy. Buy a couple cans of sweetened condensed milk, take the labels off. Put a pot of water on the stove, put the cans in the water, and bring it to a boil. Boil for 1.5 hours, turn the cans on the other end using tongs, boil another 1.5 hours. Pull out, let cool about 15 minutes, and then CAREFULLY open with a can opener (molten dulce de leche will want to spew out the top). Cans will keep on the shelf for 6 months for use later. - FFing Enigma

Johni, I was in Argentina 4 years ago for work: I spent a month helping to train a call center in Córdoba. I don't know when we'll be back, but every 6 months or so we price out what a 10 day trip would cost us. If things go well, we'd like to go about this time next year. - FFing Enigma

OK I seriously need to try this. My grandmother used to do somthing similar with the left over pie crust for the little ones. The mild would go into it and be all carmelly creme. I might have some cans in the cupboard. *mostly commenting so I can find the recipe again.* Thanks! - moon_shadow70

How would this go with a couple of homemade chocolate chip cookies? (White sugar, notwithstanding?) - Derrick

i grew up on dulce de leche. (if you recall, we had this convo in an earlier life Tina) i make it, i consume it, i do things with it that are best left to ones imagination. that said, i hate the ice cream version of it. its not the same in any way on my palate. speaking of pallets, maybe i can arrange a pallet of this junk to be delivered to your home. - Carlos Ayala

oki we will wait :-)) but if U dont want to wait for the real Dulce de Leche I will be happy to send u some ,send me over here or in Twitter yr email and contacts and you will get the real thing (not ice cream ajjaja but the real Dulce de Leche ) - Johni Fisher

Derrick: dulce de leche goes well with everything, chocolate especially. I use it to make an apple pecan pie and it's evil. And Carlos, I agree that the ice cream isn't the same. But I find it tasty in its own caramel-y right. Johni, I greatly appreciate the offer. Perhaps I'll have to make a batch of my dulce de leche over the next month, and I'll post some pics to see if it's up to standard =) - FFing Enigma

i wonder if it would work in a slow cooker too - Imabug

i wouldnt do that Imabug. contents under pressure in that can. placing the can in water and boiling it is the way everyone makes it (at home). - Carlos Ayala

@FFing Enigma (aka Tina) Who's getting that swap package after you? You say this keeps how long? :-) Where do I get in line? (Seriously I'll just make some.) - moon_shadow70

Moon_Shadow, the swaps box has already left the gate plus postage might be a bit prohibative. But it really is easy to make, and the boiled cans keep on the shelf for at least 6 months (I've used some after more than a year and it tastes fine, some of the sugars had started to crystallize though). - FFing Enigma

jcunwired: when u live here its not off topic ajajaj - Johni Fisher

I mentioned that "the collective unconscious of FF" is really hungry tonight and its starting to affect me. I think I'll go find a snack now- before I start thinking about temping The Amber's neighbor's goats to jump the fence. - moon_shadow70

I would take one of Amber's neighbor's goats and put that joker on the grill. - Derrick

Derrick, I'm glad I'm not the only one who's willing to gnash on some goat. - FFing Enigma
