this is my bliss




(Forgot camera at Mom & Dad's house - but I couldn't resist photographing this process. 
The plums were so pretty! If only the pictures accurately reflected that.)


The colors of eggs, sugar and cream together in a bowl, rolling out pastry dough and then using my fingers to press it into a little tart pan, the birth of delicious little plum and custard tartlets, afternoon tea and conversation with a lovely lady, and the anticipation of a date night with Dad. These are the elements of a happy friday.

  3. Why yes, actually! I've considered it quite a few times - I'm always waffling back and forth between things I'd like to do. However, yesterday, while making the tartlets, I decided that I really, seriously should go. I'm looking into programs and hoping I can figure something out. Many of the pastry chef programs require a full time commitment, which will be difficult for me to arrange since I need to work to support myself. I'm going to figure it out, though!
