Yep ~ Another Sunset ~ My Other Obsession

But the obsession below is way better . . . 

 

Some of my children think I am obsessed . . .

with this particular child . . .

And you know what?

I am.

How could I not be?
What I would give to have those eyes & eyebrows . . . 

Cherry Tarts

These two bite morsels are delectable . . .

 Recipe:

~ Crust ~

mix together until crumbly:

1/2 cup butter

1/4 cup shortening

pinch of salt

2 Tbsp sugar

2 cups flour

blend together and add to above mixture: 

1/3 cup milk

1 egg yolk

Place the dough between two layers of wax paper.

Roll out approximately 1/4" thick and cut into

circles with either a cookie cutter, 

or the rim of a large drinking glass.

Place rounds on a cookie sheet.

I use Wilderness Cherry Pie Filling and add about

1 1/2 tsp of Pure Almond Extract to it.

You can use any kind of fruit filling you prefer.

Spoon a small amount of pie filling into center of round.

Fold in half and with a fork crimp edges to seal.

Cut small slit in top of tart.

Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 15 minutes,

or until golden brown and bubbling.

These are wonderful hot or cold.
I usually double the recipe.

GIRL'S CAMP 2010

Warrior's of Light rock!

No ~ I have no pictures to display.

This would be because I was in charge of food.

I adore the beautiful young women who surrounded me

for three whole days.

I love each and every one of them.

However,

I am not sure I like to cook.

Thank goodness there were 

lots of women to help me.

I came home after three days . . .

thanks to Tonya and Shauna . . .

who came up and took over and endured to the end.

The night I got home

I slept for 10 straight hours without even

getting up to go potty.

That my friends is called exhaustion . . .

. . . the kind you can only get at girl's camp.
