Beautiful apples called reinettes.
Lunch was scrumptious as it usually is. Then we had the tarte. Yum! I also got the news that my new monitor will be delivered today (Thursday). Here's the tarte before we cut into it.
An apple tarte made with a custard filling. Yum!
So if the monitor is indeed delivered today, I'm planning to clean out the space where it will go before I hook it up, which means doing some organizing on and around the desk. I also plan to open up the computer to dust it out, a job that should be done every year. It'll be a busy day.
Oh how I love peppersauce and steak! I think I'll have to make myself something appley to put an end to the gloomy wet weather we've been having! Apple tarte looks wonderful too!
ReplyDeleteBy organising, Walt, do you mean moving the two mountains on your desk to either side to create more roon, or are you tidier than Tim?
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree - Pepper Steak is one of my faves too. While I write this, Sue is making Pate which is her Xmas tradition.
ReplyDeleteThat is the most gorgeous looking apple tart I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday for yesterday, Walt - hope it was a great day for you.
Fred loves to make tartes. Mostly because he know that I won't touch them and he can eat the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteHappy cleaning!

And a very happy birthday to you, though belatedly.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday a date late and a dollar short;) So glad your monitor is arriving today and maybe you are reading this note with it. Happy Solstice too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Walt!
ReplyDeleteHope you're planning on being home when the new monitor arrives.

All, thanks for the birthday wishes! It was a great day, and that tarte was delicious (if I do say so myself). We finished it off today.
ReplyDeleteI just realized that I hadn't responded to these comments with all the excitement about receiving and installing the new monitor. But now I'm up and running again.
