Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, speaking of desserts and baking, as we've been doing recently, I just said I would bring dessert to a friend's house this weekend. But it's just going to be the two of us, so what should I make? Something pie-style in my favorite muffin tins? Any thoughts?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Don't you mean something muffin-style? Isn't that what you really mean?

Never seen Dinosaur Train (hope that can last awhile). We watch Sesame as a break from Yo Gabba Gabba. Gabba is a potty training thing -- he can only watch it on his pot or if he has successfully peed. Which he is doing more and more often. Poor little guy.

Jesse, you could use puff pastry (or if you are lazy pillsbury croissants) as the crust and then do pie filling of your choice in the pastry. We do that with souffles and it is yum.

KEY LIME PIE MUFFINS!!

Really I mean tarts, but I have no tart pans.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There is a spot between my shoulders that has been itching for weeks and weeks, to the point where I'm about ready to go to the dermatologist. This morning, it's driving me so nuts that it's hard to concentrate on work.

Is that a first-world problem or just a stupid one?

I was gonna say - we already have a word for little pies! Not everything is a muffin!

Pillsbury also had a "unroll & bake" refrigerated pie crust that I've used in a pinch.

I've never made a pie crust from scratch for a quiche--always this. I think they would be fine for mini pies. Or tarts.

Not everything is a muffin!

I dunno about Jesse, really.

I'm kind of working on my crust skills -- I haven't made a bad one, but I haven't made a great one, either. So I have no problem making it. Now, what to put inside?

has your husband looked at it? Is it maybe just dry skin with the change in weather?

premade crusts are fine. If using them in a small tart, I would roll them out a little thinner, though.
