There is a nice person at a place I frequent.
Always smiling and courteous.
So she deserved a homemade treat… A strawberry and almond frangipane tart.
And you know what? She smiled…and that made me smile.
And I thought it matched her hair…and she had two servings.
No better compliment at that.

Cute!
I proposed to her. She said no.
That was a very sweet thing to do!
The smiles were all worth it!
Lucky lady! And she does have a beautiful smile. 🙂
And she smiled a lot and took a lot of pictures…but not with me in it. 😉
It’s not only colorful and unique – I’ll bet it’s delicious!! It looks big enough for more than 2 servings.
Well, there was one piece left for the owner of the establishment but he’s a night owl. I think she took the other small piece back home to her daughter…and the whipped cream!
OK,
I need a recipe!!! I can provide the coffee. I just need to know how to make this wonderful looking tart thing!!!! Take Care and God Bless 🙂 Kenny T

What a nice treat Koji… and it looks delicious.
Thank you, Curt. I’m hoping it was.
I would consider this treat the breakfast of champs. There’s nothing better than a fruity dessert with a piping cup of coffee to start your day!
…and sugar! 😉
I love her red hair! She’s a beautiful young woman and I’m sure was thrilled with the treat! Thanks for including the recipe in your comments…I’d like to try! 🙂
Thank you for the visit… and it is warming up. Darwin must be getting happier! (ps You can pick up the tart pan at Williams & Sonoma.)
I’m nice i’d like a strawberry tart! 😉
Come and get it!
on my way!
Such a gentleman – I am glad kindness is alive and well out there in California! 😉 You amaze me with your creations, it looks delicious.
You find the kindness in the most darned places out here. If I was still a boss, I’d hire them on the spot… As for the goodies, I just follow recipes (the best I can). LOL
😀
Koji, you are a gem! And your kind and generous spirit shine brightly, my friend. This is a deliberate acts of kindness, just like in that commercial I posted. You not only made this beautiful, happy young lady’s day, but you made my day too! I LOVE this story and the photos. So heart-warming. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful story in this post. :)))
Sorry I have overlooked your kind words, Jeannie. You are much too kind at heart… But for what its worth, my little Cake Boss said this was the only desert she really liked… lol
