Mulberry tarts

My modest bowlful of delicious Brooklyn mulberries, plus a handful of Wilklow Orchards raspberries from the Borough Hall farmers' market, yielded six little tarts. Quite delicious. I used Molly Bolt's pastry. Recipe at 66 Square Feet (the Food).

The new Food & Wine (p.82) is promoting local "wild" foods that one can find and use. Number one on their list? mulberries.

You are so in!

And the tarts look great!

I'm supposed to be arranging flowers not drooling. Stop it!

webb, I know...foraging is the new band wagon.

Jane - Bib's in the mail.

DGG - thanks for stopping by...

Thomas - how English of you. Splendid, what what? It must have been the tea in the background :-)

Ellen, I wish I had a nearby tree. More searching necessary

What is 66 Square Feet About?

It's about gardening in tight spaces. It's about how to live with a man and a cat in a tiny apartment with a tiny terrace. It's about photos, and friends, and inspiration and blackspot on the roses. It's about food and cooking over an open flame. It's about wine. And water. And watering...And picnics. It's about seasons without and within. It's about New York, and about South Africa. It's about where I go, and what I come back to: a terrace twelve-and-three-quarters by five-and-a-quarter feet wide.

My book, 66 Square Feet - A Delicious Life, will be published by Stewart, Tabori and Chang (Abrams) in September. Click the link to pre-order it in Amazon!

Afterwards in the street, she looks around the neighborhood. "Yes, it is certified now."

She refers to a phenomenon of moviegoing which I have called certification. Nowadays when a person lives somewhere, in a neighborhood, the place is not certified for him. More than likely he will live there sadly and the emptiness which is inside him will expand until it evacuates the entire neighborhood. But if he sees a movie which shows his very neighborhood, it becomes possible for him to live, for a time at least, as a person who is Somewhere and not Anywhere."

The Moviegoer, Walker Percy

"Die kierie kom uit Indonisie, gesny van 'n tak wat van jongs af omslinger was deur a wildevy se rank. Hulle het saam grootgeword, en die rank het sy spoor op die tak gelos. Daarom is die slinger ook oneweredig, en hier,"se hy, "by die punt van die kierie moes daar iets gebeur het - die slinger en die tak het inmekaar gevleg en 'n knoop gemaak. Die natuur het die kierie so gemaak."

"n Kieriemaker sou dit eweredig gedoen het," se ek.

"My kind," se meneer Boje, "vermy die reguit lyn."
