I love it, but my earliest experiences did not go so well, and some of it was hurled indeed, though not into the bin, but out of the kitchen and into the living room. My temper is not quite as bad as it used to be, as was proved yesterday when I merely punched some dough in a failed first attempt at making some tarts yesterday.Lisa Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596930753946940084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-85174544814401229472008-03-16T21:41:00.000+11:002008-03-16T21:41:00.000+11:00thanks Pixie - it is such a classic combination, i...thanks Pixie - it is such a classic combination, isn't it!<BR/><BR/>thanks Katie - I don't use it so much but when I do I always think I should more :-)<BR/><BR/>thanks Holler - I like your idea of dry frying the tomatoes - I really did resent putting the oven on in this heat - I was even very tempted to just put the pie under the grill to crisp up the roses instead of baking it!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-6919241069902137012008-03-16T20:50:00.000+11:002008-03-16T20:50:00.000+11:00This looks like my kind of pie, Johanna!

They are just cooked a little at this point. I like adding a little balsamic vinegar when they do.Jacqueline Meldrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05748535381400208316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-63005471986309211092008-03-16T20:38:00.000+11:002008-03-16T20:38:00.000+11:00Looks and sounds lovely.

But sorry about the oven still being on (would that count as "post-heating" the oven?) ;) .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
