Why International Dulce de Leche Day is celebrated every October 11
Rosas’ maid, upon seeing her enemy sleeping in her boss’s bed, decided to go look for the guards in desperation. completely forgetting the “grouting” I was doing. The slurry was a mixture of milk and sugar that used roses to drink with yerba in its mate.
Upon returning to the kitchen, he saw how that mixture had been heated over low heat and had turned into a thick brown solution. I was determined to throw it away and start over. But Rosas, with curiosity, He asked for a spoonful and was totally delighted.. So much so that the next day he asked him to do it again.
