Autumn Apples

My current, bestest, best dessert - apple tart on flakey pastry with icecream. I love making these tarts - soooo easy, an apple, a square of pastry, some apricot jam! I doing a Sunday lunch tomorrow as TTP is coming up and we are seeing some friends we met on Barrier at Christmas. I'm thinking a lazy chicken roast with veges (roasted parsnip, carrot and beets??) and then maybe convincing TTP the bake something out of JUUU-Lia Childs cookbook - mmm some little fussy friands with coffee afterwards?? Not sure yet, will see what cooking mood TTP is in when I pick her up at the airport.
