Saturday I went on a bike ride through the wine country with some friends
It was Caves Ouvertes, a day when all the wineries opened up for free wine tasting and lots of yummy food. Like the Russian River Wine Road.
This was the booze train, but the driver had a glass of wine in his hand...only in France...or french speaker switzerland
There are gorgeous tomatoes from Italy right now.
While writing the draft of my note I made a tarte inspired by this recipe. It was the same except I used fine grain semolina instead of spelt flour, a 1:1 ratio of creme fraiche to broth, mustard greens instead of turnip greens, and I threw in some chopped peruvian olives (like kalamata) for kicks....yum.
I made a cherry tart with the left over dough...think Cheeseboard corn cherry scone in galette form.
I needed good food to fuel my writing!
