Mother's Day Special

Both children telephoned today, and we had good long conversations. D and I went to breakfast then to the local greenhouse to begin buying plants for hanging baskets. He grilled burgers, and I made this dessert from a Mexican cookbook. 
The recipe calls for first putting a tablespoon of  cajeta  (caramel sauce) in the bottom of the ramekin. Caramel is  not one of our favorites, so we skipped that step. Next is to make a thick chocolate cake and spoon some in each ramekin, then pour on flan made with eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evap. milk, and vanilla. Pour that over the chocolate, put hot water in the pan, cover with foil, and cook for about an hour. The cake and flan switch positions. Cool, refrigerate, and then turn upside down. If you had the cajeta, it would run down over the flan and be beautiful.   What to do? Chocolate sauce would be an option... but, why not mezcal? We'll try that tomorrow!
