Blogging Buddies

My friend just launched a new blog! Check out her inaugural post and come back to visit it for a regular dose of articulate prose to brighten your week. Don't forget to stop by her original blog too, for her poetic reflections.

Also, this upcoming week, a guest will be blogging on Passionate Eater! There are many "passionate eaters" in this world, and I want to give every one of them a forum to share their views--on eating passionately of course!

Till then, please feast your eyes on a savory red onion tart made with chevre (goat cheese), thinly-sliced circles of Mexican squash, crescent-shaped wedges of purple eggplant, and heaping handfuls of grated parmesan cheese. The tart was on its way into the oven when I snapped this photo. My beau and I made this tart for weekly small group, along with a simple salad made with mixed greens, thinly-cleaved segments of gala apples (that had been "treated" in acidulated water), grape tomatoes, and sliced button mushrooms, all which was gracefully bathed in a tart balsamic vinaigrette. The main dish that evening was baked salmon with dill.
