You should write a book on your restaurant experiences. They're so entertaining Emiline! The tart looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour tart has such powerful contrasting colours that make it so elegant! Count me in, I love berries in any combo.
ReplyDeleteNow ain't that just yum? Cream cheese has to be one of the best food inventions.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great way of using tart dough, Emiline. It looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou and your sister must have loads of fun together. That's nice.
AH NO YOU DIDN'T! Why do you have to post this kind of sweet, delicious treats when I just went into a "diet"? I don't wanna have one of those love/hate relationships with you :-p
ReplyDeleteI think I am going to turn my food fixation into gambling :-p
It looks just delicious!
Beautiful tart, Emiline! Way to use up those ingredients! :)
ReplyDeleteMust be fun working with your sister.

oh emiline, why do you tease me so? i would walk at least a mile for some blueberries, i love 'em so. and then you go and put them on a bed of pie crust with a cream cheese pillow? not fair, not fair at all. :)
ReplyDeletewouldn't it be so odd if someone created a maple syrupy fragrance and yet so delectable!
ReplyDeletelove the pie, it looks delish. i've got ur blog linked! :) x
I have pie dough in the freezer too! This looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteCan I just tell you how funny I think you are? I always come away from your blog with a smile on my face!

ReplyDeleteAnd hey, it matches your blog!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious. I've been thinking of making something with blueberries sometime soon.
Yum. I am trying to use up freezer stuff too, to make room for summer goodies.
ReplyDeleteMaple syrup people. I guess that beats vinegar people.
Good luck to sis! Keep her off the crap tables!
Beautiful Tart. Blueberries are the best and hey doesn't hurt that they are good for you too! I am still cracking up at the grown man with the Mickey Tat, stay far far away from that man!! Too funny.
ReplyDeleteAnd you put those ingredients to good use :)
ReplyDeletelooks delicious! I'll have to try it out.
ReplyDeleteWow, that couldn't be any easier! It looks delicious, and I'm thinking about all of the different fruits to put on it. Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I love this recipe. It is easy, but I would have never thought of it! I guess that's why we all need you!!!
ReplyDeletegreat straightforward recipe.
ReplyDeleteregarding your customers, I recommend you investigate "Maple Syrup Urine Disease". haha. eew. seriously though.
Ahh, the medical condition that makes one smell of maple syrup--I wait on those with that often. Usually they are brunchers. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat looks great for a clean out the freezer dish!! It is often fun trying to come up with creative ways to use bits and pieces from the fridge/freezer.
ReplyDeleteOh how I love blueberry tarts; As to anything blueberries as well. Your tart looks beautiful, and I love the elegant colors your tart has!
ReplyDeleteHow come everything you make is so gorgeous? Tell me the truth. Do you have 4 flops for every beautiful dish that you post about? I won't tell anyone.

ReplyDeleteBut I do so miss blueberries!
And I never get to the U.S. in summer to have any. (Can't leave my garden in summer ;-)))
That's a beautiful tart! That's funny about the maple syrup thing. Better than having customers smell like B.O!
ReplyDeleteSo you think i should give up my idea to get a Mickey Mouse tattoo?
ReplyDeleteDamn!... i thought it was cool.
This is a great looking tart you've got there! Get your butt to culinary school NOW!
Ah, nothing like some good ole food porn.

ReplyDeleteLooking at this tart makes me think of summer and fresh berries and berry picking and all of the fresh fruits and veggies that will one day come my way.
ReplyDeleteSome women who are nursing take fenugreek to increase their milk production...seriously, that'll make you sweat maple syrup scent!
ReplyDeleteI'm wild for wild blueberries (even though they make my fingers blue for two days).
ReplyDeleteMy son loves blueberries. I should make your gorgeous tart for him.
ReplyDeleteAnd I need to set something straight. I don't have anything against big earrings. I just don't like big, UGLY earrings! :-)
