October Daily 2

 

Stories seem to be a pleasure for most of my readers. Thank you for telling me what you are reading - I'll be looking for many of those books in the library. 

Today was spent in the garden. The potager (aka vegetable beds) are tidy and bare, except for arugula, kale, and broccoli. I harvested 5 pounds of carrots, 3 of beets, and probably 3-4 of tomatoes, some green. The green ones are sitting on newspaper in the laundry room. 

I came in about 4 and started this Rustic Tomato Tart for dinner from an old Fine Cooking magazine. I checked to see if the recipe is online and it is, so click on the link if it tempts your fancy. I didn't put in the capers nor the olives. There's a fair bit of waiting around, so it's not something to make at the last minute. It was delicious, and there is enough for a light meal tomorrow, as well. 

To serve with the tart, I picked a few leaves of arugula and made a bit of salad.
