So I'm Back

I didn't really do that well with the last round of posts. The problem, as best I can determine was in the software rather than the hardware. I was trying to deny myself food while what I'm really prone to do is enjoy food. So maybe the thing to do is to enjoy food differently. To whit: the new hungry month--in which I try to reorient my relationship with food, drink and exercise. This time it's blackberry tarts.

First, go find a bunch of wild blackberries. If you live south of Canada there's no excuse for buying blackberries in the summer.



Second: combine 3 c. flour, 1 tsp. salt 3/4 c. canola oil, stirring cold water one Tbs at a time until the dough begins to form. Divide the dough into twelve equal pieces and press each into an oiled muffin pan as if they were mini-pies. Pile blackberries on top of each piece of dough and bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees.




As far as exercise goes, I'm lifting weights again for the first time in years and rebuilding my base in so I can start training for a December half marathon which I hope to finish under two hours.
