I added a bit of Malibu coconut rum to the cuatro leches liquid. Must easier when no kids are consuming the cake! : )

Am also contemplating a dulce de leche filling while my cake cools...excessive?

Fantastic! Super easy with the crock pot. At first I thought I had to rotate the meat while it was cooking, but turned out lovely.

A change in dinner attendees requires me to try this with quinoa instead of the Israeli couscous. Will get to use it sooner or later!

Yum! I made this into a smaller cake and cupcakes (long story, but needed both). They turned out fantastic, pared with a coconut ice cream.

Are there any issues related to growing different types of potatoes in the same box? Or what about sweet potatoes/yams?

I am organizing the first-ever cookie exchange at my workplace this year, having done it in previous offices. There's definitely a baker/non-baker element, where the novices may bring more year-round cookies. But I have a personal rule never to turn down snickerdoodles!

@K8lin04 I like the no rice krispy treat rule! I think as long as someone makes an effort, their contribution is welcome...but we'll see after Monday!

I wonder how these would turn out with a smidge of lavender...
