7 Myths of Long-Term Care

It reminds me of something I make based on Julia Child's Alsatian Onion Tart (the recipe is here if you'd like it, and I bet you would!: http://almostvegetarian.blogspot.com/2008/08/almost-vegetarian-culinary-inspiration.html).
It is just a puff pastry (you can buy them frozen) topped with all sorts of yummy things like carmalized sweet onions.
Thought ... this would make an amazing appetizer for Thanksgiving. Not only is is insanely fast and easy to do, but it is incredibly impressive looking ("Oh, you must have been slaving for hours, my'dear!").
Okay. Now I'm hungry!
Cheers.
