Cherry Ricotta Tarts

Well my little minions,

I made those delightful Cherry Ricotta Tarts and finished them last night! They are wonderful! I would say the only thing is that the crust is very brittle and breaks easily, resulting in me breaking about half of the pastries all together, but they taste great. I loved the addition on lemon zest in the cherry/sugar topping, and the almonds give it a fantastic change in texture. Anyways...

Baking the pastry

Plans

SO,
I will be making snickerdoodles tomorrow.
It's not on my own time, it is for my cooking class, and it's a group dealio, but I will tell you all how they turn out and maybe some ideas for good snickerdoodles. I like snickerdoodles. A lot. Also, soon I would really like to make some meringues, making meringue is really fun if you don't mess it all up. But yeah, plans. Another idea, I found a good recipe for cherry ricotta tarts, which sound fabulous and I will have to make them soon or I might die. So look forward to my yummy food I will make?? 
Love you guys :3 not that anyone has even read this except for gillfrond. But yeah.
