A couple of weeks ago I picked up the book, “Happy Hour at Home” by Barbara Scott-Goodman. This book, coupled with a mushroom tart recipe I have been eyeing in my “Smitten Kitchen” book inspired me to schedule a Friday night Happy Hour with some friends.

I settled on making mojitos, mainly because I have never made them and I have a bottle of Cruzan run sitting in my pantry.  Since the rum is from St. Croix, where I lived from eighth grade through high school graduation, I knew memories would shower me, too.

I made an onion & gruyere tart from Scott Goodman’s book.  The recipe is here.  I also made the mushroom tart.  The recipe index is here, but not sure if the particular tart recipe is there. Coupled with a salad, these tarts were filling and delicious.  A few mojitos and ice cream with homemade chocolate sauce finished out the night.  It was a great way to finish off the work week!
