Over the years, it’s as if anI elastic band pulls us away from each otherfor a short while and then pulls us back together.We laugh together, we argue together, have similar viewpoints onsome things and are totally polarized on others. We play, we shop, wedine, and we talk, and, wow, do we talk.Because of, or despite this, we are extremely close, and I am sofortunate to have them in my day to day life.Since I am the middle child, I like keeping everything even. (I don’tbelieve in favoritism unless, of course, the favorite is me.) So, since lastmonth I gave you a recipe from one of my sisters, to prevent a case ofsibling rivalry, this month I’m giving you a recipe from my other sister.Walnut Tarts are my special Christmas treat. Christmas in April, yousay? Unfortunately, I can’t think of any recipe she makes that says“April”, and this is my favorite, so here it is.When my sister makes these, she always makes extra for me. Shestarted baking them as a young wife many years ago and they’ve beenan absolute family favorite ever since.I can certainly bake them, but it’s not the same. That’s somethingI’ve never understood. No matter how good a cook one is, why doesa person’s signature dish just taste better when that person makes it?If you know, tell me why (also the words of a favorite old song).Anyway, here’s the recipe. Walnut Tarts, a taste of glory!Arline’s Walnut TartsSoften 3 ounces cream cheese and 4 ounces butter with one cup flour.Mix well into large ball. Form into 24 small balls, refrigerate one hour.Meanwhile, mix one cup packed dark brown sugar, one cup choppedwalnuts, one tsp. vanilla, one tsp. butter and one egg. Press balls onbottom and sides of greased mini tart pans to form a shell. Fill shellswith sugar mixture until ¾ full. Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees.When cool sprinkle with confectionary sugar. Makes 24.Pat Alexander writes about all things home. She is well known forher cooking, parties and interior design, and consults on kitchenand bath remodels.
Here’s to New Beginnings!By: Linda Bateman-Gomez / Timeless BeautySpring has sprung and it is time to put on oursandals and get outside! Last spring was cutshort, and summer was almost non-existent dueto the pandemic, but things are finally starting toopen up.It’s time for new beginnings!With boots and closed toed shoes ready to be stored away, it’s timeto get your feet ready for your warm weather wardrobe. It’s easy to getaway with less care of our feet during winter but treating yourself to apedicure is a great way to kick off the season - especially if you haven’tdone so for a while.This spring has some fun colors too! Of course, the soft pinks areback and always a win like OPI’s “I’m An Extra”, a muted beautifulpink. The range though this year is everything from pastel blues tobright lime green.I never stray far from “Bubble Bath” pink but this year I just might.The colors are too fun to resist.Once we have pretty Easter egg-colored nails, the dry skin and roughheels need tending to as well. I recently purchased Epielle MoisturizingSocks and I love them!They are inexpensive, about $2.50 a pair on the company website(www.Kareway.com) and also available on Amazon. They are basicallysmall plastic booties filled with oils and vitamin E.You put them on, tape them securely and remove in about 20minutes. I put socks over mine so I can walk better and leave them onlonger. I thought they did a wonderful job of moisturizing.You can also get a similar effect using your own favorite foot lotion,cover your feet in plastic wrap, secure at the ankle and put socks overthem.Soap & Glory Heel Genius Foot Cream also has a wonderful heelproduct! I use it before bed with socks and the result is great.Available at most drug stores and online. I have mentioned this linebefore because I just love all their products. They are reasonably priced,and they smell fabulous.Here’s to new beginnings!
