Here’s the Pear Croustade as mentioned earlier!
After the series of failures on Matt’s birthday, I learned my lesson and stuck to the easy one. I love making fruit tarts of all kinds, because it’s so simple, and generally fantastic, if the fruit it self is in season. I used a Korean pear, and an apple, and followed this recipe from Epicuious, using soy milk in place of whipping cream.
Everything was great until we took the candle out, and discovered that it had melted in a pretty gross way. I guess quality candles are actually worth the extra few cents. As you can see in one of the images above, the birthday dude was not amused. I think it also bothered him to be given a candle that reminded him of the finite nature of life, and thinking about mortality has probably thrown him into a deep abyss of existential dilemma.
Birthdays are hard.
