Almost one month ago- last of the galettes!

Well, maybe not the last, but definitely the last that will use summer fruit for a good long while. This was with the last of the yellow peaches, my favorite. I used this crust recipe, as 'usual' (if you can say usual when I've made it 3 times), which I was directed to by the Leftoverist. She has a more 'usual' pie crust recipe, made with cornmeal and sour cream-- which I bought last weekend to specifically try!-- and which I hope gets made before the s.c. goes bad...
But anyway, this was yummy. Good fare. So the edges were a little singed. That's the peaches' wild streak, is all.

Abandon all order, ye who...

"And so, abandoning all semblance of order, she decided to throw things up, wil-he, nil-he."

I made these. Some time ago. Here was my result:
Pretty good, right? Well, they do kind of look like dried fish hopping about, but still. I was just watching Mark Bittman video clips, which I find truly funny, because silly, and thought to myself: "He really does do things that are dead easy, but require some knowledge to put together." I would not have thought of this as a way to dispose of the 16 sheets of plain, dried nori I got with my Teaism Afternoon Tea had I not seen him do it online! Bravo, I got to enjoy these succulent morsels instead of assigning them the dustbin because they were tasteless. :-)

As a confirmed tea drinker, this quote from The Elegance of the Hedgehog, by Muriel Barbery, jumped out at me:

"Tea and mangas instead of coffee and newspapers: something elegant and enchanting, instead of adult power struggles and their sad aggressiveness."

I like her.

Oh, and I will try to get motivated to catch up on my backlog of posts, truly. They include a few about cookies and a failed mushroom soup endeavor. Expensive mistake. :-(
