Friday Foodie Highs and Lows
Saturday, October 17, 2009 at 9:33AM
Taking a rest weekend from walking and such. Been feeling a bit under the weather and sore in the ankle. But not too sore for food. It was a day of ups and downs in the meal department. Breakfast featured a special treat: creme fraiche. And the afternoon's tart experiment was fairly successful. But dinner disappointed - I made potato pancakes with red onion instead of yellow onion and it just wasn't the same. But what can you do? Have dessert I guess!

Breakfast
Buckwheat crepes with fresh fruit and creme fraiche
The creme fraiche was a real treat, especially with the raspberries (and a bit of raspberry jam).
Recipe: Buckwheat crepes
Snack
Leek and Mushroom Tofu Tart
A small taste to sample the tart experiment.
Lunch
Leek and Mushroom Tofu Tart with Bread and Salad
I guess the tart passed the test. We had this for lunch with salad and some fresh baked no knead bread.
Snack
Tart Infusion #3
Dinner
Potato pancakes with white bean croquettes and cabbage salad
Kind of disappointed by this meal. The croquettes were too dry. The potato pancakes were not the same with red onion instead of yellow. But the slaw was delicious, as was the tofu dip (with chives, adapted from Veganomicon
's horseradish and dill dip) and apple sauce and homemade apple sauce.

That tart looks AMAZING!!
The tart experiments are beautiful and definitely make up for any disappointments!
That tart looks so delicious. I've made the spinach and mushroom quiche from 101 Cookbooks before and its FANTASTIC, but I bet this one would be equally as good and not take as long to make!
Sagan, thanks for the FYI on the spinach and mushroom quiche. I've been thinking about trying it ... might do that today. :-)
What a great looking day of eats!
Your tart looks amazing Monica. When I saw the first photo I was startled at how small your serving was. Then I realised it was a snack-sized post-cooking "taste". Very important part of the cooking process!
