It's very simple--take your crust of choice, put about 2 Tbsp of corn starch on the bottom, then lay out plums (halved and pitted, flesh side up) on the tart. Sprinkle with a few Tbsp of raw sugar and bake at 200 C / 400 F for about 40 minutes. You can sprinkle a bit more raw sugar on afterwards to taste. We all like it very tart with just a hint of crunchy raw sugar.
Eric and I had a few errands to run in the morning: first, pay the piano refinisher a deposit; next, find a new latch mechanism for Le Chateau because the one we had was sticking; third, buy groceries. We told the kids to exercise while we were gone.
After lunch I worked on putting up the wood plaques that will go behind the light fixtures. We also did some more packing and organizing.
Zari came down with a fever this afternoon and spent hours sleeping on the couch.
It's super hot up in the attic bedroom. Close to 11 pm, the kids all came down and said they were all too hot to sleep. I mean, I don't blame them--it's probably over 32 C (90 F) in their bedroom!
We brought down pillows and sheets and mattresses so they could sleep in the living room. Inga is on the day bed, Dio is on a twin mattress on the floor, and Ivy is on the sleeper sofa. I think we might have to use this arrangement for the rest of our stay.
Zari's room is on the main level so it's not quite as hot as the attic bedroom.
