recent cooking ventures

These tarts were great, especially the fillings. One is spinach, lemon juice, olive oil, Bulgarian feta, the other is oven-roasted tomatoes (3 hrs with olive oil and coriander), and Israeli feta. I used phyllo dough out of laziness, but I think a more substantial tart crust would be better...next time! 
I made a chocolate cake! The recipe said to let it rest overnight, so I have yet to taste it in its glory. 
I did taste it though- pretty good. I used eggs like the recipe called for... isn't that a shocker?! (even to me). I made an impromptu strawberry rhubarb sauce- strawberries, rhubarb, honey, lemon, water- simple and a heavenly result. 
And guess who's using the juicer? After so many years.... I've used it twice in the past week and am thoroughly enjoying fresh carrot apple juice- so much better than store bought, no comparison.
