Belated Birthday Yummies

Scott bought me a Kitchen-Aid mixer as a belated birthday present. It’s pink! It’s lovely! Hypnotized by her rosy curves into a state of drunken domesticity, I whipped up a delicioso batch of mushroom and onion tartlets as well as some pear tartlets. Why so many small baked things? I dunno—perhaps it’s because miniature means fancy and I wouldn’t want my new mixer to think that I’m low-brow. (She’s so hoity-toity!)
