Today was spent doing a few chores around the house, then heading to the Gun Room with
modeleccentric and
taogrl. After shooting up paper targets, we schlepped over to Logan's Roadhouse. It's a chain restaurant that tries to give you that quaint, shit-kicking Texas roadhouse feel. It features country style chairs, simple concrete flooring covered with peanut shells that were discarded by customers eating from the numerous peanut troughs throughout the establishment.
After that, I was dropped off, and I did some laundry, played some City of Heroes, and then made a peach tart. The main intent was to experiment with my spelt flour crust. You see, if you use all spelt flour, which has less gluten, it adheres together poorly, relative to regular flour. I wanted to see if I mixed the spelt with regular flour (1.5 cups of spelt with 1 cup of flour) would make any difference.
It didn't. Moral of the story kids is that you cannot expect an attractive crustada "no pan tart" with spelt flour. Use a tart pan. End of story.
I also managed to spend some time learning how to play Tenacious D's "Karate" on guitar.
Now I'm waiting for my sheets to dry while I watch Sea Lab on Adult Swim.
