spring.sunlight

you do have good sunlight nowadays, but the temperature is still cold. that means you can enjoy the outdoor activities but still need to put on the winter jacket.  you are not complaining, in fact you are really thankful for the sunshine that you are able to enjoy and the longer daylight.

 second time trying on rhubarb, this time you are more prepared.

 starting with baking the tart shells a day before.

 and the pastry cream in the morning. the assemble is a swift, but the size of the individual shell doesn't accommodate both strawberry and rhubarb

with only one large tart shell, you manage to combine both rhubarb and strawberry...

 and the remaining pastry cream, strawberry and rhubarb go to a bowl of spring custard... very lovely vanilla scented custard cream with the right mix of sweetness from strawberry and tart from rhubarb.

 most of these went to the dinner at your mil's place where you had a family dinner last night

and yes, as much as you would like to drink a summer pimm's under the good sunlight, the truth is it's still a tad too early...
still you know the season will come and today you just give thanks to a good spring sun and vermeer light.
