Last Day of School and Raging River
Yesterday was the last day of school, with the bittersweet feeling of not making this drive for a while. The weather has been gloriously, unusually warm, which has caused the rivers to jump their banks, raging all the while. At night it sounds like sleeping next to Niagra Falls.
Mango Tarts
Whenever you make a pie, and have extra dough that you trim off, roll it out and cut out small circles. Put each circle of dough down into the bottom of a shallow tart or cupcake pan, and then freeze them. When the tiny tart crusts are frozen, then you can take them out of … Continue reading
Tiny Tortilla Flatbreads
It’s a fact that if I don’t make some sort of bread, it will get purchased when the “brood met kaas” Dutchman is here.
