I used to be indecisive, but now I’m not sure
I’m a typical Libran. Most qualities that apply to the Libra Zodiac usually match mine. And one that certainly stands out is my indecisiveness;my friends and family will vouch for it I’m sure!
I suck BIG TIME at making decisions. Seriously. Ask me to choose between A and B and maybe we’re OK, but ask me to choose between A,B and an infinite number of other choices and boy! are we in a Buridan’s ass situation
First i want this, and then i want that …and then i want this again….i can do it all day long.

To chose one dessert off Portuguese Cuisine put me in such a quandary. I had so many I wanted to make…there was the Portugal Leite Creme – Egg and Milk Custard, then i decided to make the Bolo Rei – a traditional Portuguese cake/bread. Finally it came down to deciding between Bolas de Berlim which are plump little ovals of fried dough–white flour tanned by the ovens heat and filled with custard(YUM!!) and the Bolo De Bolacha– Chocolate Cake Roll.
What I finally did make was the Queijadas Economicas or simply Milk Tartlets . I finally chose these because they seemed ridiculously easy to make. It was so easy that i JUST HAD to try it out.
The end result was really nice. It didn’t have great texture or anything but tasted delicious…comfort dessert, if i may….
The addition of cinnamon gave it beautiful flavour and I was extremely pleased with my decision.So were my kids:)
The recipe I found here.Its a lovely blog with lots of great recipes.
And Hey! Have you ever noticed that Libra is the only inanimate sign of the zodiac, all the others representing either humans or animals? Doesn’t that make us most unique and desirable ????What say you?

50 gr/ about 3 tablespoons butter or margarine

/ June 22, 2011This sounds really yummy and super easy! I’m trying it out right now. I will say tho that the batter seems to be a little watery (or as the case may be, milky 🙂 ). Should it be thicker or am I just crazy? Thanks!
