Happy early birthday, frugal-one. And congrats on the tart!
Thanks for the well wishes! I recently purchased "The Clueless Baker" Learning to Bake from Scratch by Evelyn Raab (2013). I made the tart from this book. I got the book from the library and kept marking recipes I wanted to try that I just had to purchase. There are basic recipes, as well as, a few that I wouldn't normally try but after looking at the ingredients and directions I may... for example homemade strudel. Plan on taking book to Texas since I know there will be some potlucks.
Your tart sounds mouth-watering!
I'm planning a focaccia bread pizza (several kinds of cheese, chopped garlic, olives, pepperoni, and salami), if I get around to it.
Well, I just had a good breakfast: I had leftover quinoa, and warmed it up and put it in a bowl with fresh wilted spinach from our CSA, with a poached egg on top. It was really good, and easy! I've found that quinoa does well in the reheating of it.
Busy day, so I had prepped the crockpot with chicken stew. Will make some biscuits to go with it.
I am going to cobble together a Moroccan spiced chickpea stew with chard and sweet potatoes served over whole wheat couscous. My most prolific crop was chard so I keep trying new things.
I still haven't tried Moroccan food, for some reason.
What I've tried of it (chermoula etc.) only makes me want to try more, very interesting cuisine. But it's intimidating in a way say greek or italian food is not. It usually uses a longer list of ingredients per recipe, some of which may be harder to find, and it's like "oh no, I need to go out and buy a tangine to do it right ... otherwise I'm not doing it right am I?" And well I am NOT going to go out and buy a tangine! But if I can start with a pot which I already have ....Quote:

I did a bad thing and ordered the NY Times Cooking recipe website when it was half-price the other day - $2.50 a month. I plan to do a lot of cooking this winter and I usually like their recipes so will try it for a few months.
