There are certain times in life that call for a party. Times that require friends, food, drink, and smiles. I can think of all the basic ones…
Births, Birthdays, Weddings, Anniversaries, Graduations..etc…etc…
If none of these are happening in the next few weeks then we have just got to come up with some other fan-freaking-tastic reasons for you to sample this tart. So let’s make a list.
Reason 1 - Finding your work badge after a 3 day weekend. I tend to store my badge in what I believe to be a highly visible and non lose your badge area. NOTE TO SELF AND OTHERS, YOU NEVER REMEMBER THE "EVER SO SECRET NEVER FORGET THAT IMPORTANT ITEM SPOT"
So find that badge, make this tart.
Reason 2 – Printing out all of your 2 ½ year olds first year pictures. Yes, I am totally a slacker. I seem to have a talent for taking pictures just not one for printing and putting them away. Needless to say they are printed and neatly tucked away in a place I will never lose them in..
Organize pictures, make this tart.
Reason 3 – Any day that ends in Y is a reason to make this tart, there you are so totally covered if abiding by my rules for making this tart.
If you need any other reason simply take a swig of tequila..which could possibly steer you in this tarts direction.
