Sounds wonderful! Anything with nutella is wonderful!

Today I’m making a recipe from the NYTs food section called “Sesame Braised Chicken in a pot with Shitake, Daikon and Ginger.” Really, simply a stew with unusual ingredients. I just bought the “daikon” which is an asian radish - very long, very white and suposedly with a very mild flavor.

Wish me luck!

I *love* daikon and dragon’s eye fruit. Had the fruit in a fruit salad in the back part of a Cantonese restaurant where only the Chinese ate. (My kung fu teacher had the students do the Lion Dance and demos, so we got to eat the real deal.) The fruit salad had some sort of heavy cream dressing—simple but wonderful.

CREAM for Tres Leches dessert:

1 (14 oz.) can condensed milk
1 sm. can evaporated milk
1 1/2 c. heavy cream
3 egg yolks
Put all in a blender and blend. With a knife, pierce the cake all over and pour the cream so it penetrates in all the holes and all over. It should be evenly soaked.

I heated Nutella and heavy cream (used 3/4 cup heavy cream and a couple of big gobs of Nutella—no egg yolks) in the microwave to combine them.
