You should run to your kitchen and make this apple galette right away. It's yummy, and quite easy - you know this must be true or I wouldn't have made it. I add about 1/2 tsp sugar to the pastry dough, and because I never have lemons handy, I used that fantastic lemon oil Kate sent me instead of zest. Oh, and I've made it with granny smiths as well as golden delicious apples.

In other news, Tio Carlo bought us, er, the cats, one of these for xmas. Chica hasn't yet decided if it's trying to feed her or kill her, and while Pablo accepts it, he is somewhat upset that his job as nom distribution supervisor has been outsourced to a machine.

In other, other news, I have fallen in love with making my own pasta. Which, of course, means I'll need more beta testers. Anyone?
