Today was a wonderful day, in that I was home from work before 4 o’clock! Woo-hoo! I was so excited, I even got in a tiny nap! Yay!
The downside is that my internal clock was confused and within an hour after getting home I was completely ravenous, and it was still early in the day. Lloyd heated up some t.v. dinners, but that wasn’t enough food for my angry belly. I wanted some dessert. I’ve had a box of puff pastry sitting in my freezer for the longest time – I don’t even know why (or when) I bought it. Now seemed like as good a time as any to try something with it.
I hacked off a frozen end, broke the folded pieces apart and let them thaw on my disgustingly discolored cookie sheet while the oven heated.
Baked ’em up, then slathered them with lemon curd (which I also can’t remember buying) and added some sliced strawberries for a flaky, sweet & sour sandwich. Worrying about the top not feeling pretty enough, I used up some of Brad’s gross skim milk and made a glaze. Brad – new rule: Drink up that gallon before you leave Nebraska.
Mmmmmmmmmm.
Tomorrow I won’t mess around with the t.v. dinner. Straight to dessert for me!
Brad says
Mmm.. Delicious puff pastries…
Hey! I thought you said you didn’t have any food in your house.
Lauren says
Sorry. I always have old food in the house, I just didn’t know it would be successful.
Beth says
Those are very lovely. And, what the heck is lemon curd? I’m picturing lemony cottage cheese…
Lauren says
It’s like the bottom layer of your grandma’s lemon pudding, but more dense.
Kristi says
Oh, that looks tasty. You could try blueberries in there, too.
Michelle says
I have a great recipe for citrus curd, easy to make, interested????
Lauren says
Is it easier than pulling out an old jar? 😉
Michelle says
Takes some time stirring at the stove, but oh so good!
Peggy says
Wow Lauren….those look good enough to serve in a fancy restaurant!
And I’m with you. Maybe my New Year’s resolution will be to eat only dessert for dinner.
Lauren says
You & me, Peggy -- we’ll be the happiest resolutioners! Resolutionists?

Lloyd says
Don’t sass me, food.
