Wild Blueberries & Cream Tart

My little sis seems to like her new job. We'll see how she feels in 6 years (That's how long I've worked at the restaurant).
I thought she did a really good job, when I worked with her last. She even read the employee handbook. She pointed out to me one of the rules in the handbook:
No gambling on restaurant property.

We had a good chuckle about that one. We started picturing employees racing horses in the parking lot, shooting craps, and pulling out blackjack tables from their car trunks.

I had an interesting day today...I saw a man with a huge Mickey Mouse Sorcerer's Apprentice tattoo on his thigh. Honestly! Who gets a tattoo like that past the age of 7? Not that 7 year olds should be getting tattoos. This guy must have really, really liked Fantasia.


I also encountered some people that smelled like maple syrup. It was a really strong maple scent. Overpowering. I wanted to walk up to them and ask, "Haaaayy... have yooouu guys been eating pancakes? Cause ya kind of smell like syrup" but decided that was a bad idea. What if it was some kind of medical condition? Or maybe they just work in a maple syrup factory.
Oh how I wish everyone smelled like sweet, sweet maple syrup!

Well, now I'm all hungry for pancakes. No pancakes today, just a Wild Blueberries & Cream Tart. So simple and delicious, I must say. I had pie dough in the freezer that I needed to use up, so that's why it was so simple. The next couple posts will be focusing on ingredients that I need to use.
