Salted Honey Rose Tart

I won't let another year go by without feeding you this luscious tart. It sings with the flavor of a rose honey custard, which is offset by a glittering blanket of the finest pink salt.

Salted Butterscotch Chocolate Tart or Gone, But Not Forgotten

Somehow it is Tuesday and I am still feeling Monday. Which means I am feeling a bit disorganized, but you know me by now, to know that don't you? My weekend was fine, actually more than fine. Saturday found me at the Denver Dog Show looking at these.

Today is George Washington’s
Birthday. A long, long time ago when I walked miles to school we celebrated George’s
birthday on his real birthday. I don’t think President’s Day was invented yet.

Fudge Pie

Fudge Pie has received a lot of press lately. It is featured as the winning dessert in the novel, “The Help”(www.amazon.com/thehelp), (a good read, btw) where everyone wants Minny’s secret recipe. In my life it has always been part of my husband’s requests as he grew up with the fudge pie his mother made.  Hers was a very good recipe that reminded me of a baked brownie. Though it has been a
