apple tart update

[megotelek]

Okay, here's where my confusion came from. In my mind, an apple tart looks like this:



And what I had always pictured Lorelai stuffing in her purse was something like this (what I would consider a turnover):



I suppose I could (gasp!) improvise something like a cross between the two, kind of like the no-pan apple pies where you fold the crust up over the filling but it's still open in the middle -- so it could be theoretically wrapped up in a napkin and stuffed into a purse. And make them itsy and personal-sized.

I'm really overthinking this, aren't I?

The way I imagine it is her wrapping a mini tart and sticking it in her purse. The napkin wrapping gets totally stuck to the top, and it's kind of gross. That's where all the humor comes from. If she were taking something easily portable, it wouldn't be as funny an image.

Ahh...see, I knew it was probably futile to try to use logic when dealing with Lorelai -- she has her own, after all!

I think that's what I'll do (mini-tarts). Thanks!

I was picturing something more like this, and I agree with Tseeps also.
