I missed you all!!

I am not quite sure how to ease back into blogging after such a long break, so I thought why not do it with food! Food is always good, right?!

This is a new Fig Frangipane Tart I baked while our figs were ripe and made it three times in a row. It is delicious! Extremely so!!

You can find the recipe here at one of my favorite sites: They Draw and Cook.

Use your own favorite pie crust. It's easy to make, especially if you don't blanch the almonds before grinding them up. I imagine it would be good with any fruit that goes with the almond-based custard. I think next I'll try it with apricots!

Otherwise, we had a great few weeks with a friend visiting from Germany. We did lots of sight seeing, eating, cooking, shopping, and even got to hang out watching a movie being filmed in downtown Savannah. I'll fill you in on some of this over my next few posts.

In the meantime, I am looking forward to getting caught up with your blogs and hope that you are all enjoying a beautiful summer!!

  6. Welcome back! I do adore figs...I should pay you to overnight some to me. LOL There is nothing in the world like fresh fruits and veggies. :) This is quite an inviting way to return to blogging, I must say. :)

  8. Hallo Silke,
    ich hab mir selber eine ziemlich lange Auszeit genommen. Manchmal mus das sein, um Zeit für was anderes zu haben, zum Beispiel um neue Rezepte auszuprobieren ;0)
