Living with a baker

It's the best of all possible worlds. Fresh baked goods a few times a week, and all you have to do is photograph and eat them. Welcome to my life.

Walt made this tart over the weekend. It's a layer of rhubarb baked in a pâte brisée crust,
covered with a layer of fresh strawberries and glazed with home-made rhubarb jam.

It doesn't hurt that it is strawberry season, and we have a great strawberry and asparagus stand, selling locally grown products, at the Saturday morning market in Saint-Aignan. Also, it's great that we have a rhubarb patch. Rhubarb thrives on water, and all the rains we've had since last autumn have made it grow like crazy this spring.

  5. That looks sooooo good. I should've married a baker.
    Funny, our rhubarb is very slow coming up this year. Last year, I made some rhubarb/fig jam.
    Happy anniversary!
