Margaritas

It's Friday! And you know what this calls for... Margaritas!

These margaritas are absolutely delicious and you best believe me because I do not lie about margaritas. These are very quick and easy to make, going from blender to mouth in less than five minutes. Best served with chips and salsa, summer fruits, and more margaritas.

So give a toast to the end the week! To the summer heat, good health, and, most importantly, tequila!

Lemon Tarts

When summer nears, my thoughts drift to lazy afternoons, good books, and lemonade. Lemons are acidic. They are sour. Zesty. Snappy. Edgy. Tart. They give taste buds a shock—a much needed wake-up call for your mouth. These lemon tarts do one better than lemonade (and we all know how satisfying lemonade can be on a hot summer day). They quench your hunger as well as your lemonade thirst. I cannot think of a better afternoon snack than eating a little lemon tart in the bright sunshine.

These tarts combine the best of lemons and custard. The almonds in the crust provide a nice, mild contrast to the zing of the lemon, providing a delicate balance between the calm and the storm.

I like to cut up the tarts and eat them like little lemon pie slices.
