I made this apple tart a few days ago. I don't often bake but when I do I have a tendency and a desire to make something more fancy. Which usually tastes too sweet and not that good. On this occasion I decided to make something with apples as I had tons of Granny Smith apples wasting away (my favorite apples to munch on). I chose Ina Garten's (Barefoot Contessa) recipe as I've already tried several of hers and they tend to turn out well. My edges got burned a bit as I left it in the oven too long, but that was easily fixed. The tart turned out very tasty. Simple ingredients - flour, butter, sugar, apples... + some apricot jam and a lot of brandy for glazing...
The gorgeous Freesia flowers were brought by a friend. They are incredibly fragrant.
Our visiting kitty Noonie stopped visiting for a while but appeared again a couple of days ago. While she was "missing" we saw a notice posted in the neighborhood "Tabby cat with white paws found, call Melissa." I was tempted to call and say - hey this might be Noonie, she's not really lost just likes to gallivant - but before I acted upon it (or made Terry act upon it) Noonie appeared again, the notice was gone and all was well in the world again (or our neighborhood at least). So, I guess whoever does own Noonie must have called Melissa.
Noonie, the troublemaker.
Here she is, back at our place...
