Tarte Aux Pommes
so this is what i woke up to this morning.
i love snow, especially on a day when other than going to my sister-in-laws for thanksgiving dinner later on today, we really have no where to be, or anything to do.
dolly likes snow too. (and oregano -- she's standing in my kitchen herb garden)
i'm having a lot of fun making these little dolls. this one is probably going to a niece. (with a few extra dresses i think)
why is dolly smiling? because she also likes pie.
i offerred to make something in chocolate for thanksgiving, but i had been craving my mother's apple tarte. (my mother is an excellent cook, but not much of a baker -- not that she can't bake, just that she doesn't like to all that much -- but she's known in her 'hood for her apple tarte) so i decided to try and make one myself (i did buy brownie mix in case this bombed). i made the crust myself (thank you martha stewart for giving me the correct proportions of butter to flour) and i'm hoping for the best. the inlaws are traditional (and sometimes a little boring) in their food choices so it's quite possible that even if this tastes almost as good as my mom's, that i'll be the only one eating it, but who cares. more for me.
that "thing" in the middle is a turkey by the way.
have a happy thanksgiving everyone!

Jeez, I just noticed your blog looks really different and mighty nice. And I looooove tarte aux pommes...my French husband does not, however, and prefers gateau au chocolat. Fine. More tarte for me, too :-)

If we got that much snow in Charleston, the city would be closed for days.
Cute dolly, and the pie looks tasty.

That looks amazing- hope your in-laws were smart enough to appreciate it (or should I hope they were dumb enough not to like it so that you got more to eat?).
Dolly is very sweet- that's not another JH pattern, is it?

Yum, the apple tarte looks good.
I like the little turkey on top.
And Dolly is super cute!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Even though I just finished stuffing my face with turkey, potatoes (pommes du terre--or something like that), and pie, I must say that your tarte looks delicious.
