So yummy, I wonder if how it would be to put a bit of pistachio in the sweet crust pastry? Some day I will need to hone my baking skills. Till then, at least I get to feast my eyes on yours! Thanks for sharing, J.HP.S. I'm so sorry I haven't written you back. I was so busy with the Picnic Game on my blog and now, I'm having a problem with my email when it comes to writing. I can read email but oddly, can not write it. Hope you enjoy/enjoyed your vacation!!!
