All the things we love

When I was around 15 we had cooking classes at school. Everyone had a pair and together we cooked basic meals one could do at home easily. My pair was a boy whom I didn't know very well at first, but during those classes I turned out to have a huge crush on him. I also discovered the wonderful world of pies after we had prepared tuna leek pie that tasted perfect. Four years later my cousin asked me what I wanted for graduation gift and I wishes for proper pie dish. It has been some time, the crush turned into friendship and tuna leek pie is no more my favorite, although among top 5.
Today I made a simple apple curd pie.

200g butter
2 dl sugar
2 eggs
5 dl flour
2 tbs baking powder

Mix ingredients together and fill the pie dish with the dough.

250g curd
2 eggs
1 dl sugar
1 dl cream
2 tbs vanilla sugar

Mix together and pour over dough. Cut 3-5 sour apples to the top and sprinkle sugar and cinnamon all over them. Bake around 30 minutes in 200'c. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Rebecca

Rebecca (1940) is a thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
With the words "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again" begins a strange story about love and death. I usually don't enjoy much movies this dramatic, but there was something very disturbing going on all the time and it kept my interest. Rebecca is number 99. in imdb's top 250 ***/*****
