Share a Little Kindness

I had a bit of a scare this weekend, but the alarming incident was over in no time.
While I feel like a forty-year-old in my head, my body has been telling me that I'm only fooling myself, but hey, I still believe you're only as old as you feel in your head.

What do these little tartlets have to do with that!

I can still bake a mean MILK TART as I showed you some time back. It's become my task to do the honours when the family gets together. The cheeky cousins sometimes ask for a whole milk tart to take home
My Mom used to bake a dozen or more of these pastry cases, store them in an airtight container, then put them in the freezer and take one out to fill when someone pops in for a visit. Mom's friend, at times, used to order a dozen and do the same.

When I had my alarming incident, I really appreciated the support given by a neighbour.
When one is left to fend for oneself, it's great to have someone who cares. Makes one feel you're not all alone!

Just six little tartlets to say a thank you touched her heart, as she touched mine when I needed a willing ear and some encouragement.

I had doubled up on the pastry dough when I had to bake milk tarts as dessert for my brother's lamb-on-the-spit braai (BBQ), and I kept half the dough in the refrigerator to use during the week.

The little leftover pieces of pastry dough were turned into jam crumble tartlets, my absolute favourite.

I made three more full-size milk tarts, cut each in half, and gave them to the other lonely ladies around me - I am one of them now;)
Just something small that was much appreciated by my new neighbours. I will have to copy and share with a few others around me;)

Share a little kindness and light up the world around you, even if it's only for a brief spell.

Oh my goodness, I am glad you are okay. Obviously it's not too serious if you're baking tarts still. Phew!

I was quite ok in only a couple of minutes. Baking still is my favourite therapy, thank you, dear River!

Well I am glad I am not the only one with that mentality!

I have never heard of a milk tart before, is it a delicacy of RSA? I think you are turning into one of those ladies who knock on the door with sumptuous sweet treats!!!!

Many of my friends feel the same so we're not alone!
Milk tart is a South African delicacy but we've changed the original recipe. Pastry cases are super crispy with a fluffy milk custard filling topped with cinnamon.
Oh no, I won't become a casserole lady, they hunt the widowers😅 Not my scene! I used to share baked goods with my neighbours on one side only when in my house. Here they're all around, I would say 80% women. You could have fun here @grindle 😅
