famous dessert

The best thing about my job is the food. There is always food at the food bank that is nearly expired that we have to get rid of. Much of it makes its way to my refrigerator, and later, my stomach. They don't pay me too well, but my grocery bill is miniscule. . .

This week's take was especially good: strawberries, blueberries, strawberry milk, a 5 pound bag of yakisoba noodles, organic tofu, parsley, lettuce, bananas, fancy cheese, and a fruit tart.

This fruit tart is the most beautiful dessert I have ever ingested. . . and it's delicious. . . and it's famous.

The company that takes the photos for Fred Meyer's advertisements donates the food to us after they have finished taking it's picture. The very fruit tart that I am about to have another slice of will be in the ads that come out next week. (When the fruit tart arrived, everyone was in agreement that I should take it home. Apparently, others believe that my vegetarian-ness means that I have an affection for fruit tarts that should not be messed with. I didn't argue.)

this tart, and my 2 degrees from Kevin Bacon, are about as close to fame as I get. . .
