In an effort to slow things down a bit, this past weekend Vincent and I went to our local farm and picked by hand some fresh produce: zuchinni, corn on the cob, yellow beans, green peppers, eggplants, red chili peppers, tomatos, red kuri squash, patty pan squash, and strawberries. I mean, lots and lots of strawberries.
We came home, and I decided it was high time I tried my hand at a tarte aux fraises (strawberry tart). I found this recipe on the kurryleaves blog. Thank you kurryleaves.
First, the dough (read: lots of butter and lots of sugar).
Then the yummy vanilla cream (yay, more sugar!)
I have to admit, I quite pleased with the result. I think Vincent is too.
Yumnumnumnumnumnum.
Now back to it. Bec and Mark arrive in a few days and we have a week of F.U.N planned.
I will also "graduate," have a language and skills assessment by French immigration, and submit a post-doc application I've been preparing for the last month (fingers crossed, as this position is actually in Paris).
Then, Vincent and I are off to pick up the new addition to our family. Stay tuned.
