Strawberry Tart for my Drama Queens

Strawberry tart for the two drama queens in my life and the third drama queen in the making (my lil one)

Love my drama queens........One is far away (miss you)....the other one is around  but always lost.....the third one is a little too much in my life.......and are strawberry fanatics.

This is a very simple strawberry tart...you will find the Pie crust recipe here, the filling is simple vanilla custard (also know as pastry cream) and you will find the Pastry cream recipe here and the strawberries to top the tart.....as most of you know...you will find those in the supermarket :)...unless you have your own personal strawberry garden.....which would be super cool.

Happy Ganesh Chathurthi

These modakas are for Ganesha ........and my sister Devina ...who loves both Ganesha and Modakas.

I remember Devina teaching my daughter a song on Ganesha....I have been humming it with my daughter since morning....believe me its pretty catchy....and it goes like this....

Come Oh bulky stomach Ganapathi,

You are son of Shiva Parvati

Riding a Rat-o , Belting a serpent- o,

You have the face of an elephant-o

We offer you modaka payasa,

You are the steno of veda vyasa

Please guide us Oh Vigna Vinasha,

You are the god of examination pass-a
