Delicious Dinner

 One of my go to recipes is a tomato tart from King Arthur flour.  Some would call it a quiche. It's good for dinner and then reheated for breakfast. 


The recipe calls for only tomatoes but I frequently add something else: onions, mushrooms, or bacon or ham.

This time I sauteed some onion and rainbow Swiss chard to put in it with a sliced tomato. The crust is made from white whole wheat flour from King Arthur flour which browns nicely and has a nutty flavor to me.

We had it with our first ear of corn (not pictured) from a local farm stand and the last of the water melon with blueberries Dan picked this morning from our neighbor's blueberry patch. 

A glass of merlot rounded out the meal.

Mink Brook

 I've joined a women's walking group that gathers at different spots to hike/walk on Wednesday mornings. Yesterday since I didn't know where we were to meet, I carpooled with two of the members to Mink Brook.

The temperature was perfect 60ยบ with low humidity.  I took these few photos.






This single log bridge was closed.  We crossed the brook downstream where stepping stones had been positioned for crossing. (no photo)



This was the second walk I've taken with the group. The first one I went on didn't require me to drive since it was up a road near my house.  I don't know where the destination will be next week.
