And then we have this little beauty....

I'd like to share this here, which might be sort of intense for the thread, but I found it very poingant and eye-opening in an enlightnening way. I just read about a woman in Afghanistan who had earned two degrees from the American University in Kabul, and Kabul University and had taught english to young schoolchildren..

Early on Sunday morning she arrived at the university to start classes and saw women running out of the dormitory and the police were there telling everyone that the taliban had entered the city and any woman not wearing a burkha would be punished. For the twenty years that US forces held off the taliban, women enjoyed not having to wear one. She said she could not take public transport home because the taxi drivers did not want to get caught with a woman. So she and her sister ran for miles to get home and then she had to hide all of her diplomas, awards, university ID's, etc.. She said that everything she ever worked for in all her 24 years now meant nothing. She knew it meant her last day at her job and that she would not be able to get any job with her degrees because under taliban rule, women cannot attend university or hold high level jobs. All of her dreams and aspirations had been dashed in an instant..

That looks good.
Is that a fridge tart?
I googled the image and the visually similar that came up called it that.
What's the crust/crumb mixed into it? I keep seeing pictures with such, but the recipes I found were only for the custard partr, some reply's even saying no crust needed, but every pic I noticed CLEARLY has some sort of crust.

okay, had to searchg that.
That looks good too!

Okay, now that's REALLY looking good!
I bet Ruby will say "Coconut! Give me some!"



Not that I have seen.
But we do have a lot of choices for chocolate and mint cookies/crisp wafers. Usually a chocolate/mint combination here is called "Grasshopper"

Peppermint Crisp is the best, but the tart is better

I may add this to my list of recipes to someday try......
