Open-Faced Double Strawberry Pie

Fresh strawberries in the middle of winter! Seriously, how spoiled is modern man?

The filling was two-tiered; a cream cheese-white chocolate base was slathered with strawberry goop!  Yum!

With the obligatory scoop of ice-cream (store-bought, as I’ve made my way through all the stand-alone ice-creams in the book!) 

I hosted a small potluck for my colleagues before we disperse throughout the globe. It will be very interesting to meet up again somewhere in the geographic middle, though I wonder where that would be? Somewhere in the Middle East, perhaps? Haha!

And some light custard rhubarb tartlets for those who couldn’t make it.

Completely redeemed rhubarb for me:)
