I was in such a rush to get down our engagement story, so
that I would have every vivid detail that I completely glazed over the actual
picnic that we had on that beautiful day.
Chuck had suggested a picnic several weeks prior and we
decided to go in fall. I don’t know if he had a proposal in mind then or not
but I loved the suggestion and planned a whole bunch of food that I could use
in posts on the blog. Again I don’t know if this was part of his plan to throw
me off or not but it definitely worked. I put together a small cheese, and hors d’uoevre
plate, as well as a Caramelized Onion and Apple Tart which Chuck pretty much
ate on his own, and promptly requested that another one be made soon. Maybe that’s
what made him do it; my cooking?
Regardless of all that the tart was wonderful, and made
again in short order. The recipe is kind of a cheat because I used premade
dough, but that’s what makes it a keeper; it’s so easy, and a little different
from the usual tiny bites that we all normal serve for picnics and parties. It
is also very reminiscent of fall, with apples as one of the main ingredients
how could it not be? You can find the original recipe here, and for once I did not really stray from it too much, but with only 4 ingredients its no wonder.
1 medium red onion, sliced thin
1 medium apple, sliced thin
Salt & pepper
1 sheet pre-packaged puff pastry (Or croissant roll)
¼ cup crème fraiche or sour cream
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small pan, sauté onions
over medium high heat until they begin to caramelize (about 15 minutes) add
apple, salt and pepper to the pan and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, then
remove from heat and set aside. Place pastry on a parchment lined baking sheet
and sread crème fraiche leaving about ½ an inch around the outside. Arrange the
onions and apples on top of the pastry and place in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes,
or until the pastry has become golden brown. Remove from heat and cut into
pieces to serve.
I intended to write you the very little note to thank you so much the moment again for the great secrets you have discussed here. It has been so unbelievably generous with people like you giving unhampered what exactly most of us could possibly have supplied for an e book to generate some dough for their own end, primarily considering that you could possibly have done it if you ever desired. These concepts also served to provide a easy way to recognize that many people have the same dreams like my personal own to realize much more when considering this condition. I am certain there are thousands of more pleasant periods in the future for people who looked at your site.
There are definitely a variety of details like that to take into consideration. That could be a nice level to carry up. I provide the thoughts above as common inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you convey up the place the most important factor might be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if finest practices have emerged around things like that, but I’m certain that your job is clearly recognized as a good game. Each girls and boys really feel the influence of just a second’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
May I just say what a comfort to discover somebody who really understands what they are talking about online. You certainly know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people should look at this and understand this side of your story. It’s surprising you aren’t more popular because you most certainly have the gift.
