Shopping in our village

Our village is too small to have its own grocery store but we do have a small farm shop. They are selling mainly their own products but sometimes also something from other close by farms. The whole year around in offer are apples,  non-filtered apple juice, potatos, honey and eggs. The other stuff gets sold when in season. We try to support small food producers like this as much as possible. Right now in the season are tomatos, zucchinis, plums and cucumbers. 

At this time of the year we don't need to buy any cucumbers or zucchinis because Hubby's grandma provides us with some every time we visit her. But as I passed the farm shop the other day I had to buy a big bag of tomatos and plums because they looked so juicy and nice. After getting back home I got busy in the kitchen and made for us some plum pie and tomato-avocado bruschettas

Bruschettas are super easy to do. All you need is some bread and topping. It's a nice way to get rid of your old bread. Because the bread gets grilled (or toasted) it doesn't matter if it's already a bit dry. For the filling I mixed avocado, tomato, onion, fresh coriander, olive oil, dried chili flakes, lime juice, salt, peper and sugar.

The plum pie was also fast to do with a ready bought puff pastry dough. Just roll the dough and place it to a greased pie form. Half the plums, remove the stones and place the halfs on the dough. For the crumble I mixed 100 g butter, 100 g sugar and 200 g flour. If you have too much crumble, you can freeze it without a problem.



And this is what I did with the left over puff pastry dough:



Maybe not the healthiest snack, but tastes great
