Well, I am an Assumptionist and I’ve been eating these Assumption Tarts at least once every year since I was 4. In school, they only give one slice of the tart per student and one slice is only about the size of your palm. I agree, paying P450 for a few Assumption Tarts is quite pricey but then most of us think it’s well worth your money. Even though I have been eating these treats since I was 4, I still look forward to every Assumption Day for that is the day where they give out free tarts. If you take a bite out of a newly baked, fresh from the over Assumption Tart, it will change your life.. for the better, of course. I assume you haven’t tried that yet. Oh well, that’s one more thing you can put down on your list of food to try. One bite of that newly baked Assumption Tart feels just like coming home.. Like a home with a spoonful of guava jelly. Enjoy.

Help! We are going to have our 20th anniversary reunion on August 15 — Assumption Day ofcourse! And we really want to replicate the Assumption tart. Using your network, is there any chance for you to help me get this recipe?

I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!!!

MM,

not a bad choice, not a bad choice at all! corneliani’s jackets are very well made: half canvassed, good fabric, and leaves a good slim silhouette. church shoes, too- good construction, and judging by the length of time you owned them- they’re probably made back when the Church family owned them, not its present owner the Prada group- hence they were most probably still made from the old factory in Northamptonshire in the old English tradition. (though i find their shoe lasts quite robust for my taste) oh, and linen pocket squares, eh?! very nice! i think i have found a kindred. okay, i will stop with the gushing and off topic drivel lest i get a fishpan backlash too! cheers, mm!!!

If mentioning the Turnbull & Asser shirt will turn bull and allow an asser to complain, then that will definitely be a “fishpan backlash.”

Oh, so MM made it to the dinner at the Goldenberg mansion. Sigh, I didn’t make it. Thanksgiving dinner with the family instead. I thought I’ll be able to see James Bond’s Pinoy counterpart.hehehe. Maybe even a bunch of wannabes too.

Anyway, got this tarts last weekend,didn’t like it that much.I guess there is something with food identified with schools huh? Back in college, CHS offered some funny treats. Like Baked Mac which isn’t baked at all and combination sandwiches like Ham & Cheese (half of the sandwich with ham, the other half with cheese) So when you eat the sandwich, you gotta bite it from one side and to the other side! LOL. Well I even complain the first time I bought it, I though something was missing and so the manang from the kitchen said, “ineng, hati yan pagdating sa gitna kita mo na yung keso”.

Lei and Acidboy, yes I plan a post on the dinner, but I regrettably didn’t bring a camera (I thought it would be uncouth) but surprisingly, everyone else seemed to have one. So if I manage to wangle a photo or two from them, it will be in the post… acidboy, nope, just a Corneliani, off the racks from Bergdorf Goodman, I do actually slot straight into a 40L so I can buy well RTW, and some old Church’s of England shoes from my go-go work days…, oh, and a real fine linen handkerchief, starched so the points would make even Bond proud…heeheehee. I hope I don’t get fishpan backlash from this comment…

MM,

Ooh…. Charvet- only one word to describe their ties- decadent! I do hope you cover the Dante Alighieri dinner here. Will that be your James Bond moment? And from an admirer of “things that matter”, care to share what bespoke suit you’re wearing with your T&A shirt? How about shoes? Perhaps Edward Green or Berluti?

MM, are you going to do a post on what took place on the dinner at the Goldenberg mansion?
