    I'm off to the movies.

    When I get back I might just swing by for a slice of tart and an iced coffee.

    K?

    OH heaven for a blueberry tart with fresh lemon curd! I am not sure why Northern CA is not having more blueberries out for sale. Last year it seemed so abundant that I was eating a basket and freezing a basket for winter. This year I have none put away.....

    I have never made lemon curd. Is it hard to do?

    Hi my friend, Can I just come and have an extended visit with you? I think you could teach me so much but then I'd probably decide I needed to move back to northern Ca. and that wouldn't work at all. Sending big hugs and lots of love to you today. Reggie sends virtual bisquits to Teddy.

    I read the title of your post, and my mouth began to water. .I KNEW that it was going to be spectacular, and I am not disappointed. MAJOR YUM!!!

    I just made a Guinness Chocolate cake yesterday, but it pales in comparison. Now I want fresh lemon curd, a favorite of mine, with fresh blueberries. .another favorite. not only luscious, but beautiful too! I can see why your recipe was featured in the magazine. Another favorite of mine!

    Delicious--and so many! By the way, I see "Miette" on your sidebar. We were recently there (S.F.). When I got home, I ordered the beautiful baking book. I've only looked through so far but got an e-mail from Amazon last week saying there were a number of mistakes in it and they would send me a new one, at no charge, when it was redone. This is a first!!

    Best,
    Bonnie

    Your tarts are gorgeous. I have wanted a rectangular tart pan for sometime now. I have one question though. Who is going to eat all those luscious tarts?

    Just found your blog and am loving what I see. The tarts look scrumptious.
