Friday in the city this week is coming from more of a town – my home town that is. I am taking my annual trip to Kansas to visit family and friends. I will be spending the next week driving up and down I-70 highway – that connects the Von Feldt Family in the towns of Kansas City, Lawrence and Topeka.
As a way to celebrate Father’s Day and have the chance to spend time with my six nieces and nephews, we decided to make dessert. I chose the activity of making rustic French fruit tarts as a great way for all of us to work together and at the same time, have some originality.
We all worked on the French butter dough. But then each kid had the chance to work on create fruit fillings for their series of tarts. Jake went out and picked fresh mulberries. Haley made fresh blueberry while her sister Megan chose traditional French apple with Mexican caramel sauce. Sophia made bananas. We ended up with a few great mixes as well, including banana chocolate, strawberry banana and apple caramel.
It was a great opportunity to make dessert. But for me, it gives me a real snapshot on social skills of each kid and the changes from the last time I saw them. It was a wonderful afternoon of cooking. We finally sat down to our great barbeque ribs meal which was followed by a family drooling over delicious tarts.
