The mailman brought my Moo note cards. I LOVE them! Who knew my little photos could look so great?

I've been using my very first copy of Martha's Everyday Food magazine for dinners and desserts the last two weeks.

Last, but not least, I also bought my first Japanese craft books over the weekend. I've spent hours trying to take photos of some of the wonderful inspiration in them, but haven't had much success yet. Here's a little preview...

When I saw this on her show, I knew I had to make it. Fruit tart is Josh's favorite dessert. We buy one at the grocery store about once a month as a special treat. I swapped out Martha's berries for fruit, but kept the rest the same.

Be forewarned - this is a day-long process of making stuff and putting it in the fridge repeatedly, but oh, so worth it!

As another TV chef would say: Yum-oh!
