Dulce de Leche

For half a liter of Dulce de Leche: 

1 liter of full milk 

250 grams of sugar 

1 vanilla pod 

1/2 a teaspoon of baking soda 

Boil the milk in a saucepan and add the sugar, vanilla and baking soda. Then, lower the heat to a slow boil and stir continuously with a spoon so that the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the saucepan. When the mixture starts to change color, and thickens, take a small spoonful and put it on a plate. If the mixture sticks to the spoon then it is ready to take off the fire. Stir a bit more and let it cool. Enjoy!

Perritos y Pasteles

Having been in Buenos Aires for almost ten days, I have had the distinct impression that the Argentinians love their dogs and that they love their sweets... especially sweets with dulce de leche. 

Introducing... The little dogs of Buenos Aires !

Some of the little ones were shivering, as it has been very cold, so it was a good thing that they were bundled up in coats and warming up in the sun

It is not uncommon to see ten dogs being walked by a professional dog walker
