eating outside

First real dinner outside! It wasn't exactly hot, but still, worth it. I had a pretty productive day, rosemary syrup and rhubarb-pear compote/pie filling. The potatoes are sweet and yukons, layered with pears, onion, rosemary, hot pepper. I told you I've been crazy about spicy sweet potatoes lately. We went to Costco a couple of days ago, whoa, the stuff all looks so much bigger when you get it home, and it all looked so small in that absurd cart! You have to be pretty determined to put a dent in a bag of pears that big. I don't have a finished picture of the tart because we ate it, it came out pretty well though, the rhubarb stuff is on the bottom inside, and the pears soaked with vanilla, some candied orange peel and lemon juice. I need to keep working on a dough that works perfectly every time.
