There are a ton of travel planning sites, but I just found my new favorite. Duffel (find the site at duffelup) calls itself "a trip-planning tool for people who are not planning any trips," but it's pretty handy for actual trip planning, too.
Sign into the site to create trips — real or imagined — to any place in the world.

This chocolate-truffle-inspired tart shows just how decadent simplicity can be. Dulce de Leche is a South American delicacy, made by cooking condensed milk into caramel -- its growing popularity means you can buy it at most stores these days. It's the perfect complement to the rich chocolate -- and the addition of flaked sea salt gives the whole thing balance and chef-like flair.

One of the many positives of having a brother who lived in London was that my mother became obsessed with recreating this desert that she had while she was there, banoffee pie (the name gets the celebrity couple treatment - banana + toffee = banoffee!). My mother made her version with a rich gourmet caramel sauce she bought, and I have read suggestions of using canned Dulce de Leche (the toffee is fussy to make from scratch). The pie is delicious, although I will pretty much eat bananas in any figuration!

this is what I did for this Christmas, for gifts.
Ingredients:
2 pack of Marias Cookies
250 gr of nuts (Nueces)
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
sugar
powder cinnamon
First, I had to crash with all my strength the cookies, until they're nothing but powder.
Then in a plate I put the sugar and the cinnamon powder together.
