unglazed rice imperatrice tartPierre Hermé's rice tart impératrice, almost finished. Rice pudding, mint, and strawberries at this point. The rice pudding contains a bunch of golden raisins and is made with jasmine rice, which remains "toothsome after forty minutes of cooking." This was taken before the top was glazed (and before I accidentally demolished the rim of the crust because I was in a hurry).

glazed rice imperatrice tartThe rice tart impératrice again, glazed, with fresh-ground black pepper and more mint. This is after I accidentally demolished the rim of the crust because I was in a hurry. Looks kinda like pizza, especially with the lighting.

chocolate meringue cookiesActually from 2010-12-11. Chocolate meringue cookies. Just wanted to do something basic and quick that I hadn't done before. Turned out pretty well for a first time.
