5 Years Since Lockdown: Have We Recovered?
-       Memories of that weird month of March and that 2020 Easter
-       Did we misread (ie we thought the AFL comp would collapse, businesses would fall apart because people couldn’t meet (enter; Zoom!) etc
-       What did we miss over those 2 years///our families///the community
-       Lessons learned:
·      good lessons
·      lessons we’d rather forget
·      ongoing issues that resulted from Lockdown (ie anxiety in teens, businesses that went under – hah! – health issues etc)

-       Any good that came out of Lockdown
-       If we had to endure another pandemic, what would we do better next time

BOOK: Corrie reviews Dusk by Robbie Arnott
SCREEN: Caro reviews Zero Day on Netflix
FOOD: Caro has a recipe: Greta Anna’s Tarte au Pommes
Serves 6-8
2 green apples, peeled, cored and very thinly sliced
65 ml calvados
¼ cup (55 g) caster sugar, plus 2 tablespoons caster
sugar, extra
150 ml pure cream
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons flaked almonds
Crème fraîche or lightly whipped cream, to serve
SWEET PASTRY
125 g unsalted butter
1⅔ cups (250 g) plain flour
100 g caster sugar
1 egg
To make the pastry, cut the butter into small pieces, spread them out on a baking tray and place in the freezer for 15 minutes until very cold but not frozen.
Place the flour, sugar, very cold butter and the egg in a food processor and process until it just starts to form a ball, adding 1 tablespoon of iced water as you blend. Knead a very little with the heel of your hand, then refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Press half the quantity of pastry into a 23 cm tart tin, prick with a fork and refrigerate until required. (Keep the other half in the freezer until required for another use.) Bake the tart case for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden.
Place the sliced apples in the pastry case and sprinkle the extra 2 tablespoons of sugar over the top.
Return to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the apple has caramelised a little.
Beat together the calvados, the ¼ cup (55 g) of sugar, cream and egg yolks. Pour over the apple slices.
Sprinkle the top with the almonds, return to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the custard is browned and set.
• Serve warm or cool with crème fraîche or lightly whipped cream. The tart is best made fresh but if made ahead of time, reheat in a moderate oven.
