This has been one of the best summers for me, personally. Everything about it has been unexpected. I’m use to being busy, like everyone else. Now, I’m not. I use to do everything, like all essential chores on the weekends. Now, everyday feels like a weekend, so I spread them out. I use to love the idea of having people over for relaxed dinners or drinks. Now, I am actually having people over and entertaining (thank goodness for our backyard, social distancing has been manageable). I’ve been given so much space and time this summer and despite some low points, it’s been a gift.
So, what does this have to do with a Blueberry Custard Galette? Everything! I use to get all worked up about having people over. The house had to be spotless, I had to prepare a feast, I wanted things to appear perfect. Now, even with all the time in the world I’m actually not worried about what my house looks like (or how clean it is) or how elaborate the meal. It’s just about the company. Sure, it’s still about delicious food but its not about an expectation. So, when friends come over, this galette is the perfect dessert to serve. It’s super easy, it has a relaxed, rustic feel and it is delicious. Served with ice cream, some fresh fruit on the side – it’s all you need to enjoy a casual evening.
One more thing. I love the heat. This summer has been SO hot and I get to enjoy it every single day. I couldn’t be happier!
