delicious food on delicious dishes

We've been experimenting with apples. This is a modified apple galette pastry (with blueberries and creme fraiche). It tastes as good as you imagine it does. Matthew makes the pastry dough (arguably the more difficult task) and I usually handle the compote. The first time we made this with a more American flavor combo, which included cinnamon; but the second time around, we opted for a French combo of lemon juice and vanilla beans. Both are tasty, but I think I might like the lemon and vanilla! The cinnamon tastes too fall/winter-ish at the moment.

I must say that eating such a delightful pastry is made all the more enjoyable by the jadite green Fire King dish it rests on. THANK YOU Emily for these. You will laugh when I post a picture of the table we just got at a re-sale shop for thirty bucks. Same era as the dishes. I have one word for you: formica.
