I spent the weekend baking. HEAVEN.
I love nothing more than baking. Pie crusts excite me. Lemon curd makes my heart soar.
I don't know if there is a song about how much one can love baking. But I did find a Monty Python (LOVE them too!) song about rhubarb tarts. So, sing along, and check out my goodies.
I want another slice of rhubarb tart.
I want another lovely slice.
I'm not disparaging the blueberry pie
But rhubarb tart is oh so very nice.
A rhubarb what? A rhubarb tart!
A whatbarb tart? A rhubarb tart!
I want another slice of rhubarb tart!
Blueberry Muffins and Pain Aux Raisins
The principles of modern philosophy
Were postulated by Descartes.
Discarding everything he wasn't certain of
He said 'I think therefore I am a rhubarb tart.'
A rhubarb what? A rhubarb tart!
A Rene who? Rene Descartes!
Poor nut he thought he was a rhubarb tart!

Read all the existentialist philosophers,
Like Schopenhauer and Jean-Paul Sartre.
Even Martin Heidegger agrees on one thing:
Eternal happiness is rhubarb tart.
A rhubarb what? A rhubarb tart!
A Jean-Paul who? A Jean-Paul Sartre!
Eternal happiness is rhubarb tart.
Parisienne style Brioche
A rhubarb tart has fascinated all the poets.
Especially the immortal bard.
He caused Richard the Third to call on Bosworth Field:
'My kingdom for a slice of rhubarb tart!'
A rhubarb what? A rhubarb bard!
Immortal what? Immortal tart!
As rhymes go that is really pretty bard!

Only YOU can combine baking, Monty Python and Music Monday so flawlessly.
Have I told you lately that you are brilliant?
My GOODNESS, Flower Child, are you vying for a spot at Charm City Cakes? Wowee! Great looking stuff... and my DH would love your song choice - he's both a huge rhubarb and Python fan. Fabulous post!
Oh, darling, that is all divine.
I can't decide which made me grin more, the witty lyrics of MP or your fabulous creations! (Actually had to stop grinning at one point so the drooling over the goodies wouldn't slip out and run down my chin.)
Great post!
oh....oooh my goodness that all looks so good! And great song choice. Gotta love Monty Python.
Monty Python! Baking! Music!
Three great things that go great together. Fabulous.
Holy Freaking Cow! I'm now drooling all over my keyboard.
