The mango, the pineapple, the rum, and the rain
Alcoholic beverages
Well, for the past 3 weeks my piece of Vermont has had 3 sunny days when the wind has not blown the hat off my head. It's damp-cold, but the daffodils are out and the mangoes are abundant. I had a headful of inspiration: the photo of the egg coddlers on the Shop link; my oven is on the fritz so baking was out ( I am so glad I made a pot of chicken soup last night); a little bouquet of daffodils on my dining table; and, finally, a beautiful bottle of Ron del Barrilito rum, which has the most wonderful notes of coconut and caramel. I highly recommend this import from Puerto Rico. This little dessert is a tiny piece of food art (well, I think so) and is easy to assemble. Small amounts of a few ingredients go a long, long way. You can make this dessert a couple of hours ahead of time and place it covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator, which will firm up the texture. Just leave off the garnish until you serve. Get out your teaspoon - you will need it for assembly as well as indulging!
