Sweet Sunday: Lemon Tart

Oh dear. My mouth has filled with saliva and I've only just begun writing this -- a true testament to how much I adore the tangy taste of lemon tart.

It's the perfect way to end a rich meal: the lemon filling and light pastry base cleanses your palate, leaving you wanting even more. I have been known to buy a pie-sized tart, pick it up, and demolish it bite by bite (although I probably shouldn't be so eager to share that).

It's the kind of thing that's so good you take another bite before you've even finished chewing the one in your mouth!

Lemon tart, I love you!

    Okay, this isn't fair. I haven't even had breakfast yet (barely finished my first cup of coffee) and I'm starving for this lemon tart.

    yum! But for some reason I don't think I've ever made a lemon tart. We'll need to do something about that!

    I had tiramisu last night and it was delicious. This morning I'm having a savory breakfast of an English muffin, a fried egg, hollandaise sauce and salmon.

    I look forward to your Sweet Sunday posts! Looks delicious, especially with the dusting of icing sugar-tangy with sprinkles of sweet.

    Did you bake that pie yourself? It looks so perfect. My pies are always wonky.

    Sigh. Makes the piece of dry chocolate brownie I had for pudding seem oh so inadequate.

    Lemon tarts...my favorite desert. I mentioned this to my girlfriend when we were first dating...and the next week I had a basket of these little treats waiting for me(home-made!). Suffice to say she won my heart.

    That photo made my mouth water too. When I lived in the south of France (2 whole years), my favorite outdoor cafe was right in front of a patisserie and they had a rhubarb tart I couldn't resist. Ah, sweet memories.
