food for thought?

Hard to believe I haven't posted for almost 2 months! And I thought I was doing so well with this blogging thing. Not to mention all the pictures I've taken. Wow. So now after dinner parties and meals-on-wheels for friends and relatives all summer, I've taken to making meals for my classes. Lord knows I need to get a paying gig but I can't help myself. So, here's what I've been up to for both my classes:
1. Heirloom tomato salsas/pico de gallo from my garden-- with herbs, corn, cucumbers, peppers, green onions, etc. also from the garden. Still haven't grown garlic and regular onions. Seems like too much of a pain. . .
2. Tarts--PLum tart ta tin (or however it's spelled)
pear tart; tomato and onion tart; bacon, green bean,onion and tomato tart;
3. Quiche: green bean, wild mushroom and onion; peaches and cream quiche
4. Eggplant caponata
5. Orange and sour cream cookies; chocolate, white and dark chocolate chip cookies

And we're just getting started. Can't stop cooking--even in the midst of way too much work.
