Meringue coconut custard tarts

These last weeks had been busy… time is devoted to work on fridays’ buffets and the little time I have isn’t enough to get some rest and to keep my blog alive.
When weekend arrives I just want to go home. I don’t want to hear anything. I just want my hot bath and go to sleep without worrying about the next day.
I must try to relax until the sleep brings me the light saturday morning…
