Yes... I'm still here. And to prove it, I've made the most delicious savory tart. The recipe is from an old (and favorite) cookbook, Once Upon a Tart. Family members have been out of town this week and when that happens, I usually don't spend time in the kitchen. But I've been asked recently why I haven't posted any recipes lately, and thought it was time I made an appearance. This savory tart seemed perfect for my reentry ... a 9-inch tart pan (on the smallish side), and as good this morning (at room temperature) for breakfast, as it was last night right out of the oven. If you bake this tart, make it easy on yourself (like I did) and defrost your spinach. But if you want to use fresh, take a pound of spinach and wilt, using a large pan, with a little butter and olive oil. This painting (of an actual woman with her dog on the upper eastside of NYC) is one of the reasons I've disappeared. I put my paints & brushes away 40-some years ago in art school. I was obsessed and did nothing else. I didn't think I could continue that way, so I entered the fiber department instead of painting/printmaking. I often wonder what my life would be like now if I had continued in painting... and I've been missing it. So, now I will be dividing time between painting and LivingTastefully... oh... and the garden that I need to start planting. I'm busy, but I'll still be around. Maybe just not as frequently. |
