French Onion Tart

Recently, my husband and I had the pleasure of vacationing on the French side of Saint Martin. While there, we immersed ourselves in island life and French culture. We swam in the pool-blue sea, watching small silvery fish swim past us. We enjoyed leisurely lunches of crusty baguettes, creamy cheeses and bright salads. We had dinner at  local creole stands and fine French restaurants. We ate very well there, coming away from the experience feeling lighter, happier and totally changed. Vacations will do that. Vacations on French islands are an added bonus. I vowed to cook more French food when we got home. I wanted to continue their time- honored culinary traditions. I stuck to my promise. Our happiness continues, only by fireside instead of seaside.
