Quince galette for Canadian Thanksgiving. I made t

Quince galette for Canadian Thanksgiving.
I made this lovely galette today with some of the quince I got last week. It was the perfect finish to our Thanksgiving harvest meal tonight.
🌾.
All the food I used in our meal was grown, produced and harvested locally. I bought most of the vegetables and pie fruits from the @mossstmarket with a few extra from my garden ; the potatoes and chickens were grown on Vancouver Island and purchased at @redbarnmarkets ; the flour for the pie crust was from my local grain CSA (wheat grown in BC); the butter was from the Fraser Valley.
🍂.
Among many other things, I am thankful for the place we live and the bounty the land and sea provide. I am thankful for farmers and stewards of the land. I am thankful for harvest time and all the hard workers who make our world a better place.
🧡.
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! How did you celebrate? What are you thankful for?

First time eating at @boombatten but it certainly won't be my last. Beautiful dining room, lovely views, excellent service, and the food was DELICIOUS.

Last of the cherry tomatoes from my small garden,

Last of the cherry tomatoes from my small garden, here on top of tonight's salad. Just a quick snap of something that brings me joy.
🍅.
My garden is very small, but I was able to give it love and attention this year, in a way that I haven't had time to for years, and the garden paid back in dividends of pleasure and produce.
🌱.
Did you grow a garden this year? Was it new to you or have you had a garden for years? I used to garden quite a bit, but having two jobs and two kids pushed the garden down the priority list. Not sure why I let that happen when I love it so much.
🌞.
I'm settling for a winter garden of kale, chives, and quiet nothings. I'm already looking forward to working the soil next spring.
❤️.

QUINCE SEASON 😍 Hello there, you fragrant beaut

QUINCE SEASON 😍
Hello there, you fragrant beauties, filling my house with your wonderful perfume.
❤️.
Part rose, part guava, part apple, part wine, I can never get enough of quince during its fleeting season (almost always limited to the month of October).
🍂
If you have never tried quince, you are in for a treat! Although they can't be eaten raw, they have an amazing flavour once cooked. . . not to mention a beautiful pink colour. They can be difficult to handle, but I will be writing a blog post later this week all about quince, including a sure-fire tip to make peeling and chopping these fruits a breeze!
🍐.
I already have several blog posts with quince recipes, both sweet and savoury. You can find them in my blog search bar. Keep an eye out for the next post and in the meantime, get yourself to @rootcellar or @dansfarmmarket or @nanooseediblesfarm o buy some quince before the season ends!
