Silly husbands and meeting

I must firstly apologize for the horrible picture, but I simply have to show you just what type of man I married!  Last night he asked what I wanted for dessert...the choices were frozen yogurt, a coconut tart or some cheesies.  My response was that I didn't care what I got and I would eat whatever appeared.  Well, being a nut case, he gave me all three...presented artfully....

How in the world he managed to balance the tart on top

of the cheesies is beyond me!

And, in case you're interested, here's the

recipe for the tarts...

JELLY COCONUT TARTS

2 eggs, beaten slightly

1 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon butter

2/3 cup unsweetened coconut

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon apple jelly, per tart

Combine eggs, sugar, coconut, and vanilla.

Place small piece of butter and jelly in the bottom

of each prepared tart shell.  

Spoon egg mixture over top.

Bake 15 minutes at 450 degrees.

Today was the CQTeers meeting at my house.  Irene was here, but Sue was absent due to having shingles...ouch.  Anyway, we had our usual exchange of atc's - this month the theme was 'embroidery'...

Irene did the one on the right.  Her background

was a lovely hand-woven piece of cotton she got 

while on a trip to Montserrat in the Caribbean.

Mine is the little fellow on the left - my background 

is some of my rusted fabric.

We always try to have some sort of programme at our meetings whereby we try a new technique or play with some sort of material.  This time we made little faces using paperclay and some face molds I have in my stash.  (and yes, Sue...I made a few for you too!!).  

These are now drying and will be ready to use in
future projects.
