When Life Gives You Plums... ...And you have freaky food allergies that prevent you from eating certain raw fruits, make dessert! The excess of fruit and its ripeness instilled in me an urgency to do something with them, lest they all go to waste. My solution? A plum tart. I messed up the recipe because I was engrossed in a movie while making it (note to self: pay attention to the recipe, not the TV), but it was a minor error which did not alter the tastiness factor at all.
I distributed the tart to my coworkers, who enjoyed it. Little do they know that it's all part of my evil plan to have them under my spell...
Berry Nice. Excess fruit seems to have been the theme for my weekend. In addition to the Kubota farm fruit, I also bought a lot of raspberries and blueberries. They looked so good; they were just asking to be bought...but once I took out all of the boxes, I quickly realized that there was no way I could singlehandedly eat them all. What's a girl to do? Obviously, make a dessert that she can share. I got a recipe from one of my favorite cupcake websites and made mint cream filled cupcakes with raspberry mousse frosting. Light and perfect for a summer day...
It's Good to Know People. 
Happy Belated 4th of July! While I always appreciate holidays, I would prefer that they fall on those dates that enable me to have a long weekend. The middle-of-the-week break is nice, but...you know what I mean.
So, back to knowing people. Through a mutual friend, I met a really nice girl whose family has a farm. They grow all sorts of fruit on the farm: plums, peaches, cherries, and more. She's been helping out at the farm this summer, and this weekend she brought back LOADS of fruit and invited people to stop by and just take what they wanted. Soooo delicious! Like I said, it's good to know people. Being one person, I didn't want to grab too much fruit, but she insisted I take more --- more than I could possibly eat myself --- so my family and coworkers will be the lucky people who know me. Then again, it's always a privilege to know me.
Take a look at the fruit goodness:
Sweet fruits of summer...
