Today we cut into our apple pie ("the beast") and each took some of it home. It weighed a ton! We also learned how to make Linzer Tart, one of the oldest desserts. It originates in Vienna, where people used ground nuts as a starch because they really didn't have much (if any) wheat flour. It's absolutely a joy! I loved making it and WOW what a taste. This tart is "all about the dough" (per Chef Chad). That's him, by the way, doing a demo of the Linzer Tart. And, lastly, my finished Linzer. Headed home to Charlotte tomorrow morning, after a sleepover tonight at our apartment with Lauren and Emily.
