“He looked at me as if I were a side dish he hadn’t ordered.”Ring Lardner Sensational sides…what a great idea.

CHICKEN CURRY WITH FENUGREEK…WORLD FOOD DAY
“Food is a central activity of mankind and one of the single most significant trademarks of a culture.”Mark Kurlansky The time has come the walrus said…lines from the poem by Lewis Caroll come to my mind often at the strangest of moments.

TOMATO TART…An eventful tart!
“A world without tomatoes is like a string quartet without violins.”Laurie Colwin I had a Tomato Tart on my mind. Was it Tuesdays with Doris? Was it Mondays with Martha? It wasn’t Saturday Snapshots @ Cook Sisters as that’s a non-foodie post, it wasn’t the Friday snapshot at Dhanggits‘ as that is a sweet one. Was it the book Tuesdays with Dorie…or is it just old age approaching? Saw a pie I fell in love with the minute I set my eyes on it, but couldn’t find it in my bursting bookmarked folder. It was a tomato tart & a lovely one…one without eggs in the filling & it sang…
