Beauty in the Ordinary

This is not about being brilliant, or extraordinary, it's not about wanting to be famous, or making headlines, or trying to impress...this about sharing a 'gift' each day with the world...to lift the spirit of people when they read this blog, to show them the beauty in the ordinary.
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." Raold Dahl

    Well, that is quite the meal!
    I'm not normally a fish eater, but I'm slowly learning to enjoy fish more often. On the other hand, I can't seem to have butter tarts often enough.

    That looks so amazingly delicous! Have to say I have a weakness for butter tarts too!

    Simple pasta dishes are always the best. The fewer ingredients the better!

    Not too keen on your new comments font... it's quite difficult to read. Sorry.

    Rob-BEAR...can't believe YOU don't like fish! Not my house...YET!
    Have to confess, the butter tarts are to-die-for. A recipe from my sister-in-laws mother. I keep the filling made up in the freezer, so when company comes, I mix a batch of pastry and hey-presto, dessert!
    If anyone wants the recipe, let me know.

    Totally agree Cro...let the pasta shine through. Is this font better?

    It looks like something that I would put together on a Tuesday or Thursday, except mine would come in a Lean Cuisine package.

    Delicious! All of it! I have a serious love affair with butter tarts, especially those in a handmade shell! And as for the age-old debate whether they should be runny or firm, I say runny all the way!

    Oh yes Trish (although I had no idea the debate existed!) runny, runny, runny!
    I need to send you this recipe. I keep the filling in the freezer so just have to make the pastry when folks show up. It's seriously good!
