YUM!!!! Delicious!!! This was easy to make and even easier to eat!!! The only thing I would recommend is that you let it thaw completely before you try to cut it. I let it set out for the half hour called for in the recipe and I still couldn't cut it! Once it softened some more it was fine.Very tasty! It would be perfect for a summer dessert!

I have taught myself how to cook since college and my advice about cooking is to keep practicing, try all sorts of cookbooks and different recipes, and don't be afraid to fail--you'll always learn something from it (of course, I'm a teacher so it makes sense that I believe that). I moved to Dallas 3 years ago and I love the ready availability of genuine Mexican food in the area. It's the one kind of cuisine I've never tried to make myself because the restaurants in my area are so good. I love movies, music from the 70's and 80's, animals, and beautiful weather.
