Our dinner plans were in the “still forming” stage when I got a call from a good friend in a crisis who needed a shoulder. Off I went. Before I left, Joseph asked if there was anything he could do for me. My response: “Yes. Make a strawberry tart and buy a bottle of wine.” When I came home, he had done just that.

The tart involved two different recipes from what may be becoming my new favorite gluten-free cookbook: Gluten-Free Baking Classics by Annalise Roberts. One for the crust/shell, another for the custard. Most importantly, it provided an excellent way to use quite a number of strawberries at once. We headed out to the porch, lit some candles and opened a bottle of wine. Decadent would be an understatement.
