On May 23rd and 24th, there's a Herring Bucket Brigade, to help the herring get over the Mystic River dam.  I think this is something I need to do at least once in my life.  _

This was a reduced fat bacon onion tart, made with a graham flour bread dough as the crust. I was very pleased with the crust; I've totally earned my caramelized onion merit badge at this point, and using the pie pan made it much tidier than my previous attempts at quiche-pizza. The best bit was that it just lifted straight out of the pan as a single object. However, the attempt to make a custard using eggs and yogurt was a mistake; the custard didn't soak into the onions, and ended up tasting like a really bizarre yogurt frosting.

I look forward to making a bread apple-cheddar pie one day. _

Next time I drop the car off for an oil change, I'm going to put a drop of paint or something on the oil filter so I don't drive myself crazy wondering if they actually did it. Or go somewhere that, you know, doesn't give me a receipt charging me a fictitious amount of gas to make up the amount of the inspection and oil change. _
