Pyhllo Tartlets with Pear and Cream Cheese

“The little boy nodded at the peony and the peony seemed to

 nod back. The little boy was neat, clean and pretty. The 

peony was unchaste, dishevelled as peonies must be, and at

 the height of its beauty.(...) Every hour is filled with such 

moments, big with significance for someone.”
