sunterra maple cheddar burgers and rustic pear tart
I love having a Sunterra Market nearby, but I have to be very very careful just to buy specific specialty items there and NOT go grocery shopping. For it is too expensive for everyday groceries.
But for:
a. cheese scones
b. ginger pasta salad
c. metro lemon water
d. applewood cheddar
e. food magazines
f. the butcher’s wares
I will make exceptions for these items.
There is a knowledgeable lady butcher behind the counter. From her, I buy their premade burgers. Sometimes they are bison, but this time they were maple cheddar. They were most delicious – a perfect combo of cheesy filling, ground beef and carmelized maple topping.

I like my burgers without a top bun and piled high with mushrooms and spinach sautéed in garlic. And you will see a slice of processed cheese peeking out – I am a bit of a neanderthal that way.
One of the blogs I follow is Straight from the Farm. Ella and I tried to make her Rustic Pear Tart tonight. It was a bit of a disaster. Pastry and us do not get along. Pastry ripped and I forgot the sugar and so put it on top and of course it leaked all over the baking pan, and we didn’t have enough pears so I put in a couple of apples and blueberries and it just went on and on. But we will try again! We will not be foiled! Here is a photo, but check out Straight from the Farm for the proper recipe and lovely pictures.
