Cranberry Brie Tarts
1 tablespoon salted butter, melted
2 cups fresh cranberries
2-4 tablespoons brown sugar, use more or less to your taste
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 sheets (1 box) frozen puff pastry, thawed
2 (8 ounce) wheels of Brie, each cut into 12 slices (leave the rind on)
1/3 cup fig preserves
1 egg, beaten
coarse sugar, for sprinkling
fresh thyme, for serving
1. Preheat the oven to 425°f. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the butter, cranberries, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
3. Cut each sheet of puff pastry into 6 rectangles. Spread each rectangle with about 1 teaspoon fig preserves, leaving a 1/4 inch border. Top with 2 slices of brie and then mound the cranberries over the brie, pressing them into the brie to adhere slightly
4. Fold the edges of the pastry inward to enclose the brie. Brush the edges of pastry with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the brie melted.
Top with fresh thyme. Serve and enjoy!

Wealth Growth in the United States.
In Q4 2019, US households held about $1 trillion in what was effectively cash—currency and accounts against which checks could be written. By the 2nd quarter of 2022, the amount had leapt to $4.7 trillion. Nothing like this has happened in the past 70 years—though consumer spending stats point to something similar having occurred during World War II. The federal government put almost $1.5 trillion directly into Americans’ pockets over the course of 2020 and 2021 with stimulus checks and supplementary unemployment benefits, and other aid programs indirectly funneling more. Those who kept their jobs and/or were above the stimulus-check income limits enjoyed windfalls from the stock and real estate markets. Spending options were few, especially early in the pandemic, and until recently interest rates were so low that there wasn’t much point in moving money out of one’s checking account (or from under the mattress). This massive cash reserve makes this ‘recession’ very different. (Bloomberg)Three Good ThingsThis past week produced at least three signs of things turning around…. potentially:1. The end of the Midterm election cycle revealed a sharply divided US electorate, Senate and Congress, minimizing the chances for any big policy changes. More importantly, it will end – for a few moments – the daily 24/7 drumbeat of politicians espousing the end-of-the-world gloom-and-doom predictions in their efforts to get elected. Words and moods matter. Words and headlines drive sentiment. As this extreme-negative-messaging slows, we enter a positive moment: the FESTIVE SEASON! 6 weeks of carolling could remind us that we have lots more in common than some would like us to believe!2. Inflation numbers observed by The Fed (delayed data!) signaled inflation peaked in June (9.1%) and is heading down (7.7%) and they may slow raising interest rates. Looking at all the early retail sales, price reductions and ‘buyer incentives’ leads me to believe inflation is waaaaay lower but this will only truly register by the first quarter of 2023. Maybe deflation is not upon us, but the rate at which prices are rising seems to be shrinking FAST.3. If we live in markets driven by supply and demand, the mere fact that the world’s population just hit 8 billion and is heading towards 8.5 billion by 2030, combined with the fact that life expectancy reached 72.8 years in 2019, an increase of almost 9 years since 1990, we can conclude the demands on housing will be strong for decades to come.~By Leonard Steinberg |
