Ritual - {Cranberry and Orange Pop-Tarts}
It took effort to get there, but I loved sitting at the counter as a kid. Accessible only by way of barstool, I would carefully pull myself up onto the swiveling seat and pivot my weight on a centered and bent knee before triumphantly collapsing into the throne. It was from there that I would watch the goings on of the kitchen, do my homework and, of course, eat. Upon waking up on weekdays, I

Discover - {Pear, Almond and Coconut Flognarde}
Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that in addition to Twitter, Whisk Kid now has a Facebook page. I hope you're liking the new look! ____________________________________Strengthened by a thick veil of interlaced grape vines, a near-living fence divides my family's property into unequal portions of living space and work space.

Watch - {Chocolate Caramel Tart}
I have no clue what's going on. Although I am leaning quite heavily on P's shoulder, the two of us are clearly existing in our own separate realities. Stationary in front of the television, I find myself unable to focus on the screen for any measurable period of time. I can't even remember when we started "watching" the movie, but considering the fact that I also don't know what's happening or

Goal - {Lime Curd Tart}
When you were in your early years of school, were you forced to come up with goals for yourself? To sit through lectures that focused on goals and their importance to your success? I certainly was, and I remember hearing the preaching and being incredibly confused. What kind of goal could I have? my younger self would think, baffled by the concept of setting lifetime objectives before recess.

The Glass - {Apple Tart}
Grey slush is everywhere. Allowing carefully planned steps to deceive and sending you quickly and easily to the ground, it's a hazard to your daily life in its most basic elements. As your feet cycle, struggling to gain ground - to get ahead -- to stabilize - they give birth to more grey, until your feet are completely lost and consumed within. Hopeless and burdened with damp shoes and

Lazy - {Lemon Meringue Tart}
A mildly curious glance toward the living room warrants a small smile permission to bridge my cheeks. Casually collecting the simple details of the scene lain before me, I admire the soft ambient light of the snow as I briefly and purposefully study the room's clock. Proudly dictated by the hands over the pristine white face is 5:30 - concrete evidence that the day is winding down to a

New Things - {Apricot Tart}
I often find myself wandering the produce isle, scoping out exotic fruits and vegetables. They're generally easy to find, lounging in their own baskets on the sides of various stands. Amongst a very vast and very boring landscape - composed largely of apples and potatoes - their interesting shapes and vibrant colors seem to scream, "BUY ME!" or, "EAT ME!" as if you're in some sad rabbit-less

Raspberry-Rhubarb Tart
Ingredients:
crust:
4 oz cold block cream cheese
1 cup flour
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into tablespoons
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoons salt
filling:
2 cups diced rhubarb
1 cup raspberries
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
1 egg yolk
Directions:
For the crust:
Preheat oven to 400F. Place all of the crust ingredients in the food processor. Pulse until dough just comes together. It will be sticky. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour. Press into tart pan. Set aside.
For the filling:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, the egg yolk, sugar, vanilla, salt and cream. Arrange the rhubarb and the raspberries on the pie crust. Pour the egg/cream mixture over the fruit.
Cover the very edge of the pan with foil all the way around and bake for 20-30 minutes or until the the custard is set. Remove to a wire rack and cool. Serve at room temperature.
My thoughts:
My very sweet husband made this for me for Valentine's Day. It was very pretty and sweet-tart. I think next time we make it with fresh berries we will beat a few into the cream mixture to make it pink throughout. I think using frozen raspberries (which tend to leech their color more readily) would have the same effect.
