Tomato Tarte Tatin - Bon Appetit

http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/2010/08/tomato_tarte_tatin

made this for dessert tonight on a whim.  had no intention, in fact no real desire to do it, just sounded too weird for my still blossoming palate.

a lovely local gardener extraordinaire is under siege with tomatoes growing up to the sky, over her fence, across the street and into the local school baseball fields.  i'm exaggerating, yah?  so, because karen sent me on my way this afternoon with a bag full of beautiful tomatoes, i decided there was no time like tomato time to make a tatin.

mine was over-cooked because it's tricky cooking fancy tarts with a 15 month old sitting on your hip, writhing desperately to get in to the oven and seemingly defying the laws of gravity by managing to climb higher up my person the more i intend to place him firmly on the ground, away from the boiling hot oven, behind a gate, closer to his ever ready-to-pounce brother who is at the moment tenuously distracted by diego.  go diego go!

but i digress, regress, and digest.

the tart was interesting, certainly needed more attention than i could give it, but as we all know by now, a healthy dose of whipped cream certainly made it edible.
