A little bit of a foodie update...

So I was craving dessert this week. I even bought ice cream.
I made an apple and pear tart/pie. I cooked up two medium apple and one medium pear (it was a different pear - got it from the farmer's market. Can't remember what it was called but it looked like an apple but pear shaped. It's skin was thick but cooked well) with some cinnamon, and put in my tart pan with a basic wholemeal pastry base. As you can see I went all out and made a proper lattice top! Pretty sure I did it the hard way. Is there an easy way?
It went perfectly with vanilla So Good ice cream and a bit of lindt 85% dark chocolate. I ate most of the rest cold for morning tea at work during the rest of the week.
Nadine hasn't been working much so she's been queen of the kitchen lately! This is a spinach and potato curry from appetite for reduction. Delicious. It is so fun to eat quinoa!

Nadine has cooked a delicious looking dinner for me tonight! We are celebrating our third anniversary with Dvd's, a yummy dinner, and tomorrow we will spend the day bush walking and...car shopping. Guh!

I have never made pie! Am super impressed with your latticing skills. I have, however, eaten an entire block of Lindt 85% in the past two days...

@Hannah: Thanks! I buy a crap ton of lindt 85% when it's on special at woolies...and eat it all ha.

That lattice-ing is very impressive. Something about a lattice topped pie is just so inviting. I should make one...
