Lucky Morning with Dulce de Leche

One of my colleagues occasionally places a mass mail order with Zingerman's, and although it set me back $37, I had to get in on the action. This morning I've got some of their deliciously dense raisin bread and what may be the best cream cheese in the United States on tap. But the thing I'm looking forward to most is the La Salamandra dulce de leche.

I must confess, there's almost nothing I like more than dulce de leche. Along with toffee and buttered toast, dulce de leche is a thorn in my dietary side. I'm going to hide this bottle of La Salamandra dulce de leche in the back of my fridge, behind the organic kombucha no one in my family will touch, and eat it spoonful by spoonful, straight from the bottle.

I'm starting right now.
