It feels like forever since I’ve been here!  I had a long busy weekend and a case of the Mundays yesterday, which led to a bit of writer’s block.

I finished Eclipse.  It was good.  I enjoyed it.  It’s weird because while I’m reading it, I’m enthralled, interested and enjoying it.  But when I’m done, I’m like, Ok…it was alright.  Hmmm.  I haven’t begun Breaking Dawn yet, so we’ll see how that goes.

I’m now feeling the error of my ways.  Whatever you do, don’t stop writing for a few days because it’s very hard to jump back in.  I had so many ideas of what I was going to write about on Friday and now I’m drawing endless blanks.

My daughter is crawling around the house like a maniac, getting into everything but she’s having fun.  She’s trying to walk, finally, but still determined to crawl!

I made these cool tarts last night.   You get a sheet of puff pastry, cut it into 4 squares.  About a half inch in, score a square within your square, then poke little holes all over the center.  Cover it and let it sit in the fridge for about a half hour or so.  You can also do this part one day in advance.  Then layer thinly sliced apples, I used Golden Delicious cause they’re so soft.  And I layered them with black plums!  So apple, plum, apple, plum just within the center square.  Brush the entire thing with melted butter and sprinkle with one full teaspoon of sugar.  Pop them in the oven for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.  BEAUTIFUL!   They were so good!  I topped them with a little Cool Whip and they were perfect and light!   You can do whatever fruit variety you want.  I served them warm but I had one this morning and they taste even better completely cooled and room temperature.  I think I’m going to make some for Thanksgiving.  I’m thinking about only using apples and sprinkling cinnamon and sugar.  Mmm, delicious!  And what’s great is that one box of puff pastry has 2 sheets in it, so you can get 8 large tarts out of one pack.

Time to make a shopping list!  Till next time!!
