wiseheart... but always shied away from, believing it to be way too complicated to make.
Well, I gathered my courage today and gave it a try, and you know what? It wasn't all that hard, after all. Time-consuming, for sure, as the dough had to chill for an hour, and picking red currants apart is slightly maddening, but in the end, I did it!
The result:
It is an almond meringue tart with red currants, very tasty. I should have taken it out of the oven a minute or so earlier, while the meringue was still pretty and white but it turned out well enough, and it is absolutely delicious, so I see a repeating of the event in my future.
Other than that, I wrote a page or so to Chapter 17 of "Magic Mirror" (and no, still no progress with Chapter 14) and finished another cute pot holder. Oh, and I solved some crossword puzzles, too. So, all in all, a busy and successful day.
