While I don’t have a Magazine Mondays entry this week, I’ve been a bit too busy to hit the magazine pile recently, I did think it a good idea to keep the general housekeeping theme for Mondays with this catch-all post. I’ve got some news and a tart that will make your mouth water!
First off, the news.
Zorra of Kochtopf is hosting the November 2007 edition of DMBLGIT and she has very kindly asked me to be a judge. I still shake my head and laugh whenever people ask me anything to do with photography as I don’t consider myself a photographer in any sense of the word. However, I am greatly honoured by Zorra’s request.
So if you have a photo from October 2007 that you think might earn you some accolades, please do submit it. All the details can be found here. Good luck!
The second bit of news that I have to share has a bit of apology mixed in. Lydia of The Perfect Pantry has been championing a wonderful cause and event and invited bloggers to participate with her. Five years ago, Lydia created the idea for Drop In & Decorate Cookies for Donation. After hosting a cookie decorating party, the cookies are donated to a charity. A simple act of generosity on Lydia’s part transformed the holiday season for some people who needed it. Lydia has continued the tradition and this year has partnered with King Arthur Flour. Lydia asked bloggers to post about this event between November 4th and 10th. Unfortunately, I was unable to get my post up. But I wanted to spread the word anyway and to let everyone know what a worthy cause this is. Lydia, count me in for next year!
And finally we get to the tart! I was cleaning out my photos folder and realized that I’d never shared this gorgeous Bacon and Onion Tart with you. The recipe is from the Stonewall Kitchen Harvest book which is an absolute gem. A buttery crust holds a creamy onion and bacon filling flavoured with thyme. Yummy! While I took the photographs of this tart, I must give credit to Mama Cream Puff who actually made it.
But I got to eat it and in the end, that’s the best part! Have a wonderful week everyone!
Ciao!

Ivonne, you are helping, and I’m so grateful!
11/12/07 at 6:19 pm
Oh my, I must have that tart NOW! Looks divine!
11/12/07 at 8:10 pm
looks very delicious and comforting!

I love onion tarts — the bacon is making my mouth water right now. Can I get a piece to go with no calories, please?

That bacon tart is just in time! I made my bacon this Sunday (post to come soon, honest). Can you share the tart recipe, please?
11/13/07 at 11:06 am
Bacon…onion…tart. Those just might the three happiest words I’ve hear all day. Yum.
11/13/07 at 11:07 am
Ivonne,
This has my name written all over it! Onion and bacon tart–so simple, yet so perfect. I do a red onion tart with thyme and blue cheese, but I like the sound of this one a lot. Any excuse to eat caramelized onions is welcome.

God Bless Pork Fat. That’s all I can say.
Well.. other than it’s gorgeous and Mama Creampuff is an artiste! Ohh and.. will you share the recipe?

Wow, this really is a beautiful tart! I may have to rethink my original dinner plans for tonight!
I’m glad you’re spreading the word about the Cookies for Donation! I wish more food pantries would accept home-baked goods, but there seem to be quite a few that won’t because they’re not made in certified kitchens. =\ It’s always nice when certified kitchens will donate space for these types of events, though!

Beautiful-looking tart! Delicious-looking tart!
I love Lydia’s Drop in and Decorate event. Such a wonderful idea to help other. And fun, too!

What a full post! Might have a photo for Oct.
Think the Decorate and Donate is a great cause.
The tart is by the the best of all. I can almost taste it! Glass of wine, salad, tart…that’s dinner.
11/14/07 at 11:32 am
wow, thank you for spreading the word about two such wonderful blogging events! I wonder if any of my food photos from October 2007 would be considered…
that tart photographs quite nicely, Ivonne! excellent camera-work!
11/14/07 at 6:10 pm
I would love this paired with a salad for a light, but rich dinner. I love the idea of the drop in a decorate event…I haven’t heard of anything like that before and think it’s brlliant!
11/15/07 at 3:37 pm
Allright….now you’re talking…a Tart!!! Perfect for friday nights when Mr.Tartelette has to play music and needs a little snack after midnight! Lovely!
11/15/07 at 4:32 pm
Not sure I’m into the bacon and onion combination as I like neither ingredient…but the photos make it look beautiful! Way to promote Lydia’s cause…it’s really a great one!
11/18/07 at 4:23 am
Hi, your blog’s great and that tart looks stunning. I’m so hungry now!
11/28/07 at 10:39 am
Any possibility of this recipe being posted??? It looks amazing!!! Thank you!
