What happened to my weekend?

Well, I actually know what happened to my weekend.  I worked at The Quilters Angel, it was nice to catch up with the regulars and be surrounded by all those beautiful fabrics for three days...mmmmm, so many new things to make.  So I'm having my weekend tomorrow. I'll sit and flick through some mags, drink coffee in the sun, play with some zoo babies (still not finished!) and maybe visit my mum.  We'll see how the day pans out.  But today I need to finish a couple of client quilts so just a short message for now.

Chookyblue asked for the lemon tart recipe.  I had to tie Bloss to the front verandah and threaten to take away her cooking utensils but she finally surrendered and parted with the recipe for us...

Use your favourite sweet pastry recipe for the tart shell

Filling Ing.

1 tablespoon finely grated lemon rind

1/2 cup lemon juice (mixed lemon/lime is yum too)

5 eggs

3/4 cup castor sugar

1 cup cream

Whisk ingredients all together in a bowl then let stand for 5 mins.  Strain into the cool baked pastry case, bake in a 180deg (160deg fan forced) oven for 30 mins or until filling is set slightly and then allow to cool.  Refrigerate until cold.

Serve with whipped cream then guts into it with a shovel. (This step is optional but I like it...)

Bloss and Moo played with photoshop yesterday.  There are more on her blog and even more to come...so much fun!

Bloss is creating Cookies and Cream Slice today, stay tuned for the photo.

Hello... I for one am going to make that yummy lemon tart... Did I tell you about the time my mum froze some pastry that she had made and defrosted it to make a delicious mushroom tart... Pity it was sweet pastry! It would have tasted so much better as a base for sweet lemon tart!
