How wonderfully it holds the moment and pauses, still, to reflect, to smile at each face in turn around the room, and know these are the moments that fill us, that cushion us against future winter.<BR/><BR/>Cherry plums? I don't believe I have ever had one, certainly not in a tart. Wish my better half went around making such things, wish I felt inclined to call him my better half, of course he isn't going around referring to me as his better half either. (perhaps baked goods are required to inspire such sentiments)<BR/><BR/>*hope this doens't make a double postTaffinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961088325369065690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117802.post-83106843714171396592007-09-20T04:15:00.000+02:002007-09-20T04:15:00.000+02:00LMN,A chocolate crust?

Thank heavens for the photograph. One day in years to come, you'll see this, taste this and muse over this again. You'll wodner whose shoes are whose.<BR/>PS Thanks for soldiering on with my story.

Google even comes up with "mirabelle plums" in English, which means that it's a kind of cherry plum. There, in case you wondered what plum cherries were! :) At least I didn't say they were apricots ... although I almost did!S.
