the tart of a beautiful friendship

Sometimes you make lemon curd and then it is all you can think about. Your friends have probably heard more about this lemon curd than you realized you could share.


Also, you may love Pop-Tarts but that doesn't come up as much.


Eventually, there will come a time when your friends meet your current infatuation. It should probably include some pastry.


And, if you like it then you should put a sprinkle on it.

some kind of sugar and spice

Here's a fact about giving people cookies, they often respond with 'Ooooh, what kind are they?'. And in this case I legitimately didn't know.


I used a recipe for brown sugar cookies, but I didn't have brown sugar...then I added super dark chocolate to half of them.


Since these cookies are heavy on the cinnamon, I billed them as cinnamon [chocolate chip] cookies. Then the cookie receivers respond 'Ooooh, cinnamon.' And everything in the world seems right.
