injuries

last night, while cutting fresh caramels, i slashed my hand up pretty bad with a pizza cutter. 5 hours in the ER and 5 stitches later, i'm now half invalid. i can't even do anything with this hand now - i cut almost a cm in, into the muscle and nicking my tendon. WOO. (please note the bandaged hand in the photo.. sigh)



a great end to a fantastic two weeks including getting strep throat and having all my clothes stolen from the laundromat. YAY.

some interesting posts from me coming soon, i promise!

fruit tarts

tonight i was really craving something for dessert, so i threw these together. as far as desserts go, they're pretty healthy - and super simple. not that dessert is ever super healthy, but it's mostly fruit, so it's far better than a fat-filled cheesecake, or chocolate cake.

the recipe:
defrost some frozen puff pastry and cut it into small squares (4x4"). poke a few holes in the bottoms with a fork, so they don't stay totally soggy in the middle. place a few pieces of fruit on each square. i used raspberries, blackberries, and apples. any fruit would be good - sliced cherries, pears, nectarines, anything. sprinkle a little honey or brown sugar (or both!) on top. bake at 400 degrees for about 10-15 minutes. enjoy!
