One of our colleagues originating in Hungary has been with us for over a decade. You can safely assume he is in no rush to get back there. Over the years he has gone from work visas to a green card. Finally the time for citizenship came so he can vote in elections and go through the quicker lines at airport immigration...among other things! He passed his citizenship test awhile ago and yesterday was the swearing in ceremony.

To celebrate his becoming a full fledged American citizen he brought in an all-American Cranberry Orange tart from Pasticeh. An apple pie might have been even aller-American but we are not complaining. Cranberries are uniquely American and this is a very special treat.

| A sophisticated American treat!! |
This tart, which we have had before, is delicious and hard to believe that the sourness of the berries is not at all overwhelming. The pastry cream layer and the glaze probably offset the tartness. We were very happy to eat some and welcome our former Hungarian into the American fold!
