Food is on her mind

Today the girls are having a day off from school. It is still not our biological rhythm this American school schedule. But we slowly adept. Solange likes to make a recipe today. In fact she came to me early in the morning, and this was her first request of the day. This is my daughter. She is just into food. She loves it always to anticipate for the next dish to be served, the guests to come, the friends to treat. Cookbooks are all around the place. Energy is never to less to focus for new recipes. Today she wants to prepare a dough. We looked yesterday in a cookbook with all kinds of pies. Sweet ones and salty ones. We decide to try another, lighter dough. We will change the quantity of butter. So for the 1 cup (250 gr) of flour we take now 100 butter and a bit more of cold water.We decide to work harder to make an ever better dough. To often we are to much in a hurry so the result is hardly ever as good as good be. New efforts to make. New goals to reach out for.
The dough will be filled with glazed baked onins, garlic and some cream. Topped with cheese. We will use the compté, hard french cheese to have a more explicit taste. But it could be done with cheese as emmentaler or gruyère but these are not in the fridge today. The second pie will be filled with tomates in thin slices, we leave the mustard, Solange had several allergic reactions, mozzarella, in fresh little balls and starwise we will add sradines from a can. A mélange of eggs and cream we poor on the top. Both pies will be baked in a 200 celsius heated oven. The girls will bring the left overs from these pies for a schoollunch tomorrow to school.
