Fruit Tarts

I would imagine that tarts want to be pies when they grow up. Unfortunately, the life span of a tart is very, very short. Mere days really. They live a short and delicious life.

Good ole Punxsutawney Phil predicted an early Spring the other day. I hope he is right, because I could go for some temperatures that don't resemble my fridge. Bill Murray living Groundhog's Day over and over again was a topic of conversation on the radio. From a culinary standpoint, having an eternity to cook and eat anything would be fantastic. No cost, no calories, endless possibilities. From the mental health standpoint though, I'd probably go crazy at some point. But until that point, I'd just start at the front of the cookbook and work to the back.

Thinking back to Bill Murray for a second though, how many years or even decades did he spend re-living Groundhog's Day over and over anyways? He had time to learn French, ice sculpt, play the piano- all would require quite the time commitment I'd imagine. I never really tried counting how many days were shown in the movie, but thinking back now, and watching clips on YouTube, Bill Murray was stuck in 1993 for a very long time. Rough.

Below are the apple tarts on the left and the pear tarts on the right.

Or maybe it is apple on the right and pear on the left. I guess it doesn't really matter. They all ended up in my mouth.
