I love reading and then going back and re-reading some of your posts, as well as visiting your beautiful galleries of photos and recipes. When I got back to this one today, I had to sigh…. When I was a little girl, my grandfather took me and my cousins out late in the night, we all piled into the back of his pick-up truck and he drove us to this secret garden. We all thought how special it was that we had this time with him and that we were sneaking out into the dark with him! he told us to all be careful walking through the dark and then with his flashlight lit, he illuminated these beautiful flowers and told us they were night blooming cereus’ You could have heard a pin drop, not one of us could speak…. As soon as I was grown enough to own my own home, I knew I would have them too and today, I do. I love sharing clippings with my family and friends and it makes me smile just knowing it’s in my house, the funny thing is how I acquired my own clipping is from a Vietnamese family that was close to mine. It’s like having a piece of my grandfather with me. Thank you for capturing this moment in time that few people know about and would likely NEVER get to see. Love me some lychee’s, I can’t wait to make these panna cotta’s!

Leilani – probably makes 6 half-cup servings (24 oz.)

I’ll clarify my “servings” question: I do not plan to put them in shot glasses, but in small cups. I guess what I need to know is how many ounces your recipe makes. Thanks!

Wow! The lychee panna cotta looks absolutely delicious! I don’t have any vanilla beans — may I use vanilla extract? How many servings does your recipe make?
