The Happy Stretch

Happy April 2nd.

Happy Birthday, Lauren.

My daughter is celebrating a birthday

and

anniversary today.

Have a perfect day Lars. Love you.

The past days were wonderful.

They were filled with fun events, old friends, good food

and

a lot of love.

Do you know the happy stretch?

You do a full body stretch, and say to yourself,

I am so happy.

It was that kind of weekend.

I made the little tarts below for Lauren's party.

Easy, fun and delicious.

{but I am biased because I love lemon}

Lemon Tarts

yield 15 tarts

1 package frozen miniature phyllo tart shells, thawed.

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup lemon juice

1 Tablespoon grated lemon peel

1/4 cup butter, cubed

*In a small heavy saucepan over medium heat,

whisk the eggs, sugar, lemon juice and peel until blended. Add butter:cook, whisking constantly until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon.

Transfer to a small bowl, cool for 10 minutes.

Cover and refrigerate until chilled.

*Just before serving, spoon lemon curd into tart shells.

Garnish with raspberries and mint and or whipped cream.

I cannot wait to make these again,

and plan to eat them all myself.

I had the best weekend and

hate that it is Monday.

Frown here....

Love you beyond the fresh raspberries.
