PUCKER UP FOR FOODIE FRIDAY!

Nothing says spring like 

oh so Zesty

and Refreshing

Mini Lemon Meringue Tartlets

You know me, I love to bake things that require

multiple steps and create the largest mess 

in the kitchen.

I adapted this recipe from 

Martha Stewart.

She made them in mini pie tins,

but I chose to put them

in muffin cups.

I thought that they would be cuter...

Jacob sure loved them.

They were the perfect size 

to just pop right in!

In-between each step,

I had to chase 

a little Downy Woodpecker

from the front of our cedar house.

I would be mixing away 

and Miles would come 

to get me - 

Mom, the Woodpecker's Back - 

Hurry Up -Hurry Up!

It looks like I have 

to dig out the big owl eyes

or some flashy old CD's

to scare the little guy away.

Today it was a beautiful 75 degrees,

but a bit windy.  

But who's complaining - 

it beats winter any old day!

Lucky me,

Jacob discovered a new 

vintage vinyl record store

closer to our house.

So after today's A&W Mama Burgers

and root beer floats,

we popped in and picked up

some Led Zeppelin,

Stevie Ray Vaughn,  Jethro Tull,

Joe Walsh and Foreigner.

At $3.99  each they were a bargain.

Well, you can all think of me

sitting my day  away at seminars today - 

All about molars and fluoride

and root canals.

This weekend is the 

Annual

Minnesota Dental Convention.

When I return I will

stop by our dear Gollum

to check out 

all of your wonderful recipes

and foodie ideas.
