Tres Leches Cake
We made this for my son's birthday today and it was the best I've ever had. We had Tres Leches in Guatemala, my friend from Honduras made it periodically, and from various places in the US and this was as good or better than anything else we've had. We followed the recipe almost exactly except did it in a 9x13 cakepan instead of springform. We also added about 1/4 cup powdered sugar to the whipped cream topping and topped with sliced strawberries. Thanks so much for this recipe, it's a keeper!

Butternut Squash Soup with Sage
Fantastic! We had this at our Christmas dinner and everyone ate it, even the preschooler and toddler. My husband didn't care for the sage butter, but since that's added to each bowl to taste he left it out in later bowls. He also hates squash in general but liked this. We served it again last week when we had dinner with friends and it was a huge hit. It's now on regular rotation. The only changes we made were because the pantry was low: boullion & water instead of broth; McIntosh apples and therefore slightly reduced sugar; and since I didn't have sage leaves I melted a bunch of butter in a skillet, put in a tablespoon of rubbed dry sage, simmered for a minute, and then strained the butter.
