The Great Golden Pineapple Tart

Growing up in one of the 7,100 islands of the Philippines, I am very fond of fresh "pinya" or pineapples. Salt it, cake it, salad it, juice it, any which way suits really fine! My kids, urban citizens that they are, are by no means strangers to this crowned fruit, but they are more familiar with its canned form.🥫🥫🥫 

Absolutely one of our favorite things every CNY here in this little red dot is the Pineapple Tart; this is one of the interesting ways we met this fruit, together. Shops stock up on this treat as the holiday approaches, culminates on the week itself, and lingers a little more.  

Buttery, tangy, sweet.  It's hard to keep these in the jar for long.  Arrrrgh. MUST. PORTION.

how i met Nancy Drew

It was my sister who introduced me to Nancy Drew and her posse, Bess and George. Back in 4th grade, from a book she brought home from the school library.  Erm, at least that's how I remember it. One Nancy Drew thing stands out in my memory though. The title "The Secret of the Old Clock".  I vividly remember how the book looked, hard-bound, yellow spine, thick pages. The picture in the front cover showed Nancy, alone, crouched on the grass in the quiet woods at night, opening that old clock and looking so, well, so secretive about it!  I recall how i felt then, seeing that picture, there is a thrill, like you were on the verge of discovery of a very precious secret!   Thus, i got hooked in a much enjoyable way.  I had graduated from fairy tales, fables and legends and had moved into mystery. It was one mystery solved after another! A different kind of adventure! How about you?  Were you, or are you an avid Nancy Drew fan? What was your 1st mys...
