Farewell My Tart

|
The last box of the fruit CSA came last week, and it was chock full of peaches.  It felt like something with a bit more 'huzzah' should be done then another peach cobbler.  So I broke out the Beranbaum Bible.  A Peaches and Cream Tart with a Sweet Cookie Crust.  The crust was tasty and came together easily, but ended up not withstanding the liquid from the peaches and custard.  The peaches called for ended up being too many peaches to fit in the shell.  The custard called for was too much custard (and since it was poured in while baking, it ended up spilling out into the oven and burning.  p.s. - burnt milk not the best smell to fill the house).

So, when I say it was an annoying tart; I may or may not only be referring to the finished baked good.

Still, it came out tasty and was a good excuse to have friends to come over and help eat it.  And any baked good that you get to share with people is good.

Will be sad to no longer get the bimonthly boxes overflowing with fruit.

Not Quite One of Either

It's August.  Which is nice since July seemed to be hanging around far too long.  The CSA came with bunches of peaches and plums...still trying to figure out what to do with all the plums.  But I thought I would try a new cobbler recipe with the peaches.  I'm not sure what the woman was thinking but I wouldn't call it a cobbler, I also wouldn't call it a pie...it really wasn't quite either.  However you really can't go too wrong with baked dough, sugar, and peaches.  I used raspberry vodka instead of the called for cognac, because...why the heck not.

Another weekend that I don't get to sleep in, since the dog for some reason doesn't like me being in bed past 7am.  I have to get up, and as soon as I do he then decides it is time to crawl back into bed.
