chocolate raspberry tart


sometimes i pinch myself because i think my life is so ridiculously amazing.
these last few days in seattle have been gorgeous... 
freezing, but perfectly SUNNY, without a cloud in the sky. 
and days and nights have been filled with adventure.

sometimes i ask myself 'does it get any better than this???'
and then i remember, oh yes, it does. it starts all over again tomorrow :)







this is the easiest tart that has ever been made.
if you're overwhelmed at the prospect of a fancy dessert - give this a try.
crazy easy - and looks great. perfect to impress someone special :)
