I sure know about the mortality thing, but as an older and wiser friend said once, "whatcha gonna do?" Make a gorgeous tart for starters and yours is truly gorgeous with the flaky crust and pretty fruit. I really enjoyed your instructions as I'm a little nervous about pastry and rolling it out to look nice. We eat low-carb quite a bit and cucumbers and salmon are a great combination for low-carb. I find I need more energy now for projects, so keep up the good work on play writing. It's good for your soul and it keeps your brain stimulated.<br />SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387813811203789547.post-24373768848294190392015-07-20T20:12:47.482-05:002015-07-20T20:12:47.482-05:00Your dessert looks wonderful, and I think the play...Your dessert looks wonderful, and I think the play sounds great too!

No doubt you have a wonderful life story to tell. Damn the weight thing...I feel you. Just moved into my 5th decade and it was "wow, this is not a dress rehearsal" conversation I had with myself.<br /><br />You are awesome! You take your calling (playwright) seriously and passionately. I have enjoyed following your journey over the years.<br /><br />VelvaVelvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16034246333318823700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387813811203789547.post-55553094393011186312015-07-17T17:40:26.365-05:002015-07-17T17:40:26.365-05:00I am delighted for your visit and love this recipe...I am delighted for your visit and love this recipe so happy to see your post since April missed you bunches! love this one! have a wonderful rest of your summer!Whats Cookin Italian Style Cuisinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15203502864311900991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387813811203789547.post-62050742601939391002015-07-14T21:41:38.969-05:002015-07-14T21:41:38.969-05:00Happy belated Birthday, Claudia!

Looks great, though -- thanks so much.Kitchen Riffshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334461438904669081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387813811203789547.post-2340071324763877832015-07-14T16:02:48.693-05:002015-07-14T16:02:48.693-05:00I have three cucumbers in the fridge, now I know h...I have three cucumbers in the fridge, now I know how can I taste them, thank you Claudia !Chiara https://www.blogger.com/profile/05230381399920979549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387813811203789547.post-36596406675656433952015-07-14T15:38:54.616-05:002015-07-14T15:38:54.616-05:00Just wanted to wish you the happiest birthday ever...Just wanted to wish you the happiest birthday ever! It's easy for me to remember yours since you and my brother share the same special day. I'm confidant one day your play will be starring in the bridal role. My 50's are coming way too fast, please make it stop. Enjoying everyday, that's the loftiest of my ambitions.<br />-Gina-Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06992109988343596133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387813811203789547.post-48178572239718286232015-07-13T22:39:37.724-05:002015-07-13T22:39:37.724-05:00Claudia- this is a perennial problem if you are a ...Claudia- this is a perennial problem if you are a blogger and have other interests, like writing. Sadly, my "serious" writing takes a back seat to my blogging, but I keep telling myself (rationalizing) "There's a time and a place for everything." Like you, I am seeing the years flying by now that I too, am in my sixth decade, but still find it hard to keep from the blog. It just nourishes me in so many ways. Still, you have given me pause....<br />Good luck with your play. It deserves to be front and center, like a bride! And like your tart - beautiful and delicious.Ciao Chow Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479595368522070565noreply@blogger.com
