They Shouldn’t Have Let Me Graduate

Someday, I’ll be able to make a proper French tart.  One that looks pretty AND tastes good all at the same time, instead of one or neither of those things.

In the meantime, I’ll be washing dishes.  Lots and lots of dishes, while glaring at my conveniently broken dishwasher.  And my confounded tart pan.

I used to joke with my British husband, the man to whom anything placed between two crusts is good eating, that I went to Cambridge and we are 20K poorer because I needed to learn to make pie crust.
It's still hit or miss on the execution, but I'm great on theory!

Give me savory anyday.

I dunno, I've always found dishwashing soothing. But since I usually had no choice but to wash dishes, maybe that evolved as a defense mechanism.

Jim: What a handy defense mechanism. My defense mechanism is to cry. It gets the dishes wet, but that's about it.

Jo: I can do American pies, oddly. Sometimes, Italian pies. But call it French and put it in a tart pan, and I'm screwed every time.
