I had a "senior moment." They're becoming more and more common around here. Ahem. I ordered a traditional French holiday yule log cake from our local bakery to have for dessert on Christmas day. It was delivered on Saturday afternoon. Earlier that day, in a flurry of activity, I made a blueberry tart for dessert on Christmas day. And it wasn't that I forgot about the cake. I just had it in my head that I needed to get dessert made on Saturday because the oven would be in use on Sunday morning.
A blueberry tart sprinkled with powdered sugar.
So we had two desserts. And both are good. I picked the blueberries at a local farm back in July and froze them for use through the fall and winter (we still have a good supply in the freezer). So since Sunday we've been alternating between the cake, which is frosted with a coffee-flavored pastry cream, and the tart. Not to mention a nice plate of holiday cookies baked and offered by a friend...
your cake is yummy
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how the mind fixates on some task :-)
ReplyDeleteTwo puddings?
ReplyDeleteCan't grumble about that!
By the way, what's under the blueberries in the tart, a layer of frangipane perhaps?
ReplyDeleteOr is it a secret?!
There's never too much dessert. I've been offline for several days ans it's already time to wish you a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteAh, not just me. I get so focused on something that must be or expected to be done, I forget the detail.
ReplyDeleteOM NOM NOM NOM!
ReplyDeleteThat looks lovely
ReplyDeleteHaa haa!
ReplyDeleteWell, if your senior moments result in extra fabulous desserts, not much harm done!
Oh, that blueberry tart makes my mouth water. But I don't understand the problem. Is it that you only remembered to have TWO desserts?
ReplyDeleteThere never can be too much dessert.
ReplyDeleteThat's not a senior moment. I call that planning ahead. As they say, you can never have too much dessert.
ReplyDeleteI would say you've found the perfect excuse, Walt! Bon appétit.
