As Clint Eastwood said in one of the Dirty Harry potboilers "A (man) has to
know his limitations"  Bv)=

IIRC you have hypoglycemia. I am currently nearly not diabetic. My fasting BS
this morning (after a rare trip and pig-out at the Chinese buffet) is 121 - a
bit elevated from my more normal 100 to 110.

MOst of what I noticed about Charlotte was her prodigious intake of meatballs
and her being glued to the Glass Teat showing Pinky & The Brain (one of my
favourite things from Stephen Spielberg).

Naaaahhhhh, not one is bent out of shape over not tasting something. If that
were to happen I would have certainly torqued some jaws with my extra-low
intake.   Bv)=

Picnics happen when they happen. April or October would be fine. I'd stand a
better chance of making an October picnic - but, y'know they've held picnics
without me before and no one fell ill or died.  Bv)=

      Title: Mango Tart
 Categories: Pies, Fruit, Pastry
      Yield: 8 servings
 
      1    Frozen puff pastry sheet;
           - thawed
      1 lg Egg; lightly beaten
    1/4 c  Sugar
    1/2 c  Sour cream
    1/3 c  Whipped cream cheese
      1 ts Fine grated fresh lime zest
      2 lg Mangoes; peeled
 
  Garnish: Finely julienned blanched lime zest
  
  An easy but elegant tart—perfect for a weekend in the country.
  
  Prepare pastry: Preheat oven to 400°F.
  
  Unfold pastry sheet on a greased baking sheet, then turn
  over (to prevent creases from splitting during baking). Trim
  edges with a sharp knife. Brush pastry lightly with egg (do
  not allow to drip down sides). Create a 3/4-inch border all
  around by lightly scoring a line parallel to each edge of
  pastry (do not cut all the way through). Prick inner rectangle
  evenly with a fork, then sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
  
  Bake in lower third of oven 15 minutes, or until puffed and
  golden brown. Transfer to a rack and cool to room temperature.
  
  Make cream and cut mangoes while pastry bakes and cools:
  Whisk together sour cream, cream cheese, remaining 3 tb
  sugar, and zest.
  
  Thinly slice mangoes lengthwise with a mandoline or other
  manual slicer or a sharp knife (be careful because peeled
  mango is slippery), then halve wide slices lengthwise.
  
  Assemble tart: Just before serving, spread cream over inner
  rectangle of pastry and top with mangoes, folding decoratively.
  
  Cooks’ note: Trimming edges of pastry dough allows layers
  to separate so pastry rises evenly.
  
  Active time:35 min
  Start to finish:1 hr
