photo challenge: 100 untimed books - 24

Upper Rubber Boot's prompt 24 for 100 Untimed Books is "sweets."

Which brings to mind a different cookbook:

From which I've made these:

praline chocolate cake

bavarian cream

The miniature bottle of cherry liqueur was special ordered by my favorite wine store when I needed it for the praline chocolate cake above. There was plenty of cake left over after the party, so I took a third of it to Amanda and Tyler and the gang.

Last night I was not feeling nearly so ambitious, and ended up at Local Taco. They ran out of the lobster-BLT special that had gotten me out of the house, but there are worse fates than sipping a frozen margarita over a fried avocado taco while watching Dexter Fowler hit a home run for the Cubs. (Didn't see Arrieta steal second, but was plenty amused by the Twittersphere's reaction to that.)
