Tarte Aux Myrtilles D'ete (Summer Blueberry T
PATE BRISEE
1 1/2 cup unbleached white flour
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup butter, chilled - cut into small
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice cold water, more, if needed
FILLING
5 cup fresh or frozen blueberries water
1/3 cup sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch, dissolved in: water
OPTIONAL
1/2 pt heavy cream, whipped
FOR THE PATE BRISEE, stir the flour and sugar together in a mixing
bowl. Cut the chilled butter into small pieces and drop into the
flour. With your fingers, lightly and quickly rub the butter and
flour together until the mixture becomes crumbly, or cut it in with a
knife or pastry cutter. Whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, and
1 tablespoon of water. Sprinkle the liquid over the butter-flour
mixture and continue to stir or rub this mixture between your fingers
until a ball of dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough. If
the mixture is crumbly, add up to one more tablespoon water,
sprinkling it over the dough and lightly kneading it into a ball.
On a floured board and with a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough
into a large circle. Gently lift it into a 9- or 10-inch pie plate
or tart tin. Patch any holes in the crust with bits of dough and trim
the edges. Flute the crust. Chill for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 375 F.
Place a sheet of aluminum foil in the bottom of the crust and fill it
with dried beans or rice to weigh it down during baking. Bake for 15
minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and carefully lift out the
foil and beans. Bake for 5 minutes more. Cool.
TO MAKE THE FILLING, heat in a small saucepan 2 cups of the
blueberries, 2 tablespoons of water, and the sugar. Crush a few
berries with a spoon to release the juice. When the berries have
softened and become juicy, add the cornstarch mixture. Simmer on low
heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture
thickens. Remove it from the heat and fold in one more cup of
blueberries. Pour the berry mixture into the baked pie shell. Top
with remaining 2 cups blueberries. Cool for at least one hour.
Serve plain or topped with fresh whipped cream, if desired, or
sweetened Creme Fraiche.

Dieting tips
If you want to drop a dress size and improve your general vitality, then, as any doctor will tell you, you really should start a carefully configured sensible meal plan. In a perfect world, this needs to contain 5 measures of grains and vegetables per day and require the right combination of fats, carbs and proteins.
When deciding on a daily routine, the important thing is to endeavour to regulate your consumption of salt, fats and refined carbohydrates.
When people first start dieting, they often concentrate on department store and well known products sold as 'low fat'. This is far too often foolish, insofar as a food could be very low in fat, but still contain excess carbs & calories.
One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. Your body needs water , it is essential for our survival and has zero calories. It also fills your tummy and decreases feelings of emptiness. A few nutritionalists maintain that we should try to drink as a minimum six glasses of plain water each day of the week.
Instead of dwelling on the types of food you should eliminate from your meal plan, focus on the healthy foods which you should add to your daily routine. If you can introduce the recommended amount nourishing fruit & veg into your diet, you will be delighted to find that stop feeling hungry and have a much decreased probability of being seduced by those damaging afternoon chocolates.
