Creamy Lemon and Raspberry Tart
I second sabrina's comment - are frozen berries a "berrier" (thankyoui'llbehereallweek!) to a good final product?

"Memorable" is not necessarily synonymous with "tasty." I love my mom. She is very good with the microwave. And the things she takes out of boxes to heat in it. And she can really sauté vegetables, like really cook the heck out of them...until they take on new forms and textures that render them almost unrecognizable. She's creative that way.
Tasty or not, after an entire day of working, she had dinner on the table for seven (almost always ungrateful) people nearly every night of the week. I don't know how she persevered.
Probably the most memorable - to this day, her 5 children bring it up - was the time when we were very small. She mixed several cans of spaghettios with cans of ravioli and served them out of a single, large pot. It was mystifying in the best way. We had no idea you could do that - spaghettios and ravioli? In the same dish? We thought it was great.
