A caramalized onion, bacon, vegetable, and 2 cheese tart
Last week, I unexpectedly recieved a 20 dollar bill. Well, a 200 peso bill to be exact. It came from a friend who all of a sudden remembered that I had lent her 200 pesos a couple months ago. I told her there was no need to pay me back, but she insisted, and in times like these, I can really use all the money I can get. Except, instead of using it to give to my boyfriend to cover my half of the expenses of the $500 dollar stove he put on his credit card, I was browsing Wal-mart and found some cherry tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes are hard to come by in central Mexico, so I thought ok, I have to pick these up. While continuing to browse, I was thinking about what I could use these little guys for, when I found myself in the cheese section. I picked up a hunk of parmesan and looked at the price tag. $120 pesos...about $10.50. "Hmm," I thought as I set it in the cart, "120 pesos + 30 pesos for the cherry tomatoes leaves me $50 pesos. I think I'll pick up some bacon while I'm at it." The bacon cost $30, leaving me with $20. I thought I did good, because I hadn't spent all of themoney. And then I got to the checkout counter and couldnt resist buying a couple packs of peanut m&ms. I know, I know...I'm awful with money, but at least the tart I made was so delicious that I felt a little less guilty ;)
bake at 375 until crust is done (about 25-30 minutes for me)
