Got up this morning w/ a list of things to do. Washed the car. Picked up some groceries. Checked in for my mail at the post office. (Thank goodness they didn't get shut down.) Indy and I went traipsing through the woods looking for a Christmas tree. Had decided not to cut down the big tree I'd planned on earlier in the year but went looking for a small sapling to put in a bucket outside the front door. I finished up reading the mystery that is due back to the library today and then made cheese tartlets. I'd bought pecan tartlets at the store for comparison. The store-bought ones were flaky but lacked any taste. (Well, they were 1/2 priced.) My baking efforts got off to a rocky start. Substituted ricotta cheese for cottage cheese (can't stand cottage cheese) and, when I realized I'd forgotten to add whipping cream to the shopping list, substituted 1/2 sour cream and 1/2 whole milk for it. Surprisingly the little tarts taste great!
