Butternut squash tart with carmelized onions
(Read article summary)A lunch dish to celebrate a beautiful fall in a new city.
I’ve officially lived in New York City for one month.
I want to say that I’ve been putting my beautiful black-counter-topped, white-subway-tiled kitchen with cherry cabinets and gas stove to good use on a regular basis, but shoot, kids. I live in New York City. Do you even know how much food exists here? I experience moments of overwhelming anxiety whenever I consider how many restaurants I have to eat at while my metabolism still allows for reckless eating. It’s a rough life.
Also, I’m in love with Brooklyn. In love. I see no reason to leave on the weekends when there are flea markets and food markets and farmers markets to be visited and general exploring to be done.
But, every Sunday, I make lunch for the week. This was last week’s lunch. Sometimes I even paired it with salad.
