The past few days have been difficult. The weather is not cooperating, and new guy has been out of town for a week. I need a pick me up. Last night I made risotto which was a bust because i decided to add in kale last minute, and well... it just tasted weird.

I DID use up the rest of the pie crust that I made for the quiche and made an apple galette via my new alice waters cook book.

here goes (in oversimplified directions):

take pie crust, rollout. refrigerate while cutting the apples.

slice around 2 large apples thinly. add 2 TB sugar to apples and (my fav, a little lemon juice).

arrange apple slices in an overlapping circle on the pie crust. fold over the edge so the apples are tucked in nicely.

beat and egg and brush over the exposed crust. Sprinkle sugar on entire tart and bake at 400 for 45 min.

tada! delicious.
