I was waiting for someone to say something about the pears. When I was writing this post and looking at the photos, I was a little disturbed by the color resemblance with the poached pears and my blood shed... at least my hard work paid off :) Thanks Grace! @Grace: Lol!

It actually took me a few days to try making it again but I refused to let the tart defeat me. I guess in the end it still won but I'll be back with a vengeance for sure!

It's one of those tarts that is definitely a "special occasion" only deal. Way too much work. Luckily, I already had some poached pears on hand. Thanks Lindsay! @Lindsay: Fancy indeed.

I mean, all it takes is a quick second to unplug the machine right? But nooooo, we have to be dare devils and stick our fingers in the crossfire! Lesson learned. My finger has closed up nicely but the wound is still sensitive to the touch.

Or maybe I just need to learn how to unplug appliances before touching sharp blades! But yes, the pistachio pastry cream, caramelized pistachios and poached pears are oh so yummy together! @Malou: I need to learn how to properly make tart crusts first and then this recipe won’t be as dangerous.

I was chopping parsley and thought itd be a really good idea to stick my fingers in there and shake things loose and the machine took a chunk of my finger -- bloody parsley YUM! Beautiful tart though Dhale, the cut finger was well worth it :) Please get better soon! Man I did the same damn thing when I was working as a line chef at my first cooking job.
