Day two of the writing retreat. I feel so lucky, that I have a writer friend who can offer a serene retreat where I can put everything down for a day or two and just focus on writing in the midst of beauty. It makes a difference.
Also, I got to try a Russian treat, boiled sweetened condensed milk, which I first remember Alex mentioning, oh, thirty+ years ago, when we first met. You basically boil it in the can for 2-3 hrs, and let it cool, and you end up with what I would call dulce de leche. It was delicious.
IMPORTANT NOTE: do not let the water boil away, or the can may explode.
