Post#117: No Four Star, but 19 Questions...

One of my favorite bloggers, Christine aka Mistress of Cakes, from Maman and Gourmand has chosen me to be her victim in a Foodie Tag! Since I adore her, I will acquiesce to her command! See, those SAT words come in handy.


So, tag! I am it. Now suffer through some Q&A on getting to know GabesBabyMomma (that's me)!

This is so much better than bread pudding (and the bread pudding was crazy good!)

Thanks for sharing a little about yourself. Will you share your Tres Leches recipe as well? I don't think I have ever made it, and I have only eaten it one or two times, but I do recall it was really good.

How lucky you are to have a twin! I've got twin boys and I hope they remain close as they get older.
