The Susanne

It’s Blue Monday and I’m com­pletely knackered – not so much from the smash­ing cham­pagne tea party on Friday night (includ­ing lit­er­ally dan­cing the night away on the town), nor from lunch and seeing Alice in Won­der­land yes­ter­day with some amaz­ing people, as from run­ning too fast and for too long on the tread­mill this morn­ing. Good thing I’ve got a won­der­ful week­end to look back on and a beau­ti­ful sunset to look at. Rather makes this more of a Pink Monday, really…

I’ve always been a little afraid of the Tarts.  I’ve always ima­gined them to be ter­ri­fy­ingly dif­fi­cult to handle, and I’ve never before been able to muster the cour­age to face one. Until today! I went face to face with the Tart – and lo and behold: I came out vic­tori­ous! So tomor­row at the cham­pagne tea, every­one will be able to enjoy a lovely slice of this cherry and pista­chio tart – Courtesy of The Susanne, Queen of Tarts

Oh! And I found the recipe at Epicurious!

Oh my good­ness, the sun is back! I am dan­cing with joy!

C and I are throw­ing a cham­pagne tea party at Kiel­land House this coming week­end for all the lovely girlies that we never get to see now that we are all either grown up with grown up jobs or com­pletely immersed in lit­er­ary theory and cri­ti­cism up to our ears. I am so excited I can barely stand to wait the five whole days until the event.

What can you tell me about the par­a­texts of this edi­tion of this book? Any takers??
