Dulce...

Hello everyone!  Hope you all had a great weekend!  

My daughter and I made this yummy and very-easy-to-bake cookies.  They turned out great and we had so much fun!!

What you need (only five ingredients!)

- 1 1/2 cup of flour

- 1/2 t spoon of baking powder

- 4 yolks

- 1 spoon of cognac (optional, I did mine without it)

- Dulce de leche

Note:  You can find dulce de leche at any Argentinian or Chilean bakery.  For you New York ladies, you can find it at Fairway.

Mix flour and baking powder, add yolks one by one and the cognac.  Mix until is firm and dry.  If it is too dry you can add a little water.  Roll the dough with a roller spin until is very thin and cut the circles (or any other shape).  Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 350º.

Put two of them together with dulce de leche and voila! 

And here our delicious cookies!

Oh so good :)

Wine...

Hi everyone!  Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend!  Now we are all into the Holiday Season, aren't we?!  This will be a month full of celebrations and get together with friends and family around a nice glass of wine :)

I found this great article at House Beautiful magazine where Mr. Adam Strum from Wine Enthusiast Magazine gives great advices on Wine Refrigerators.  Mr. Strum mentions that a popular misconception is that most people think they can only keep white wine in the refrigerator.  He says that white, sparkling wines and roses should be chilled between 44 and 48 degrees and red ones should reach up to 62 degrees. I love this little refrigerators, do you have one at home??

Here are some great wine glasses I found:

Can you believe this nice wine glass is $1.99 at Ikea?


I love this monogrammed from Pottery Barn, they make a great gift for the Holidays!







And what about this festive ones from Crate and Barrel





Of course Riedel are always a classic


Do you have a wine refrigerator at home?  Do you store the red ones or keep them at room temperature?
