Well, the tart dough is made and chillin' in the fridge, while I'm chillin' on the couch! Food processors are neat!

Success! Because my tart pan is 11" (instead of 10"), the crust was kind of thin, next time I'll just make a little more dough. But my-oh-my is this good!

We had the same thing for dinner last night, California Girl! It was WONDERFUL! Not wet at all, thanks to everyone's advice.
Tonight I'm trying to come up with something like Miss Vie's rice and beans with meat sauce

I love butternut squash, but I'm so intimidated by them! How do you get the skin off without a lot of work and tossing out half of the squash? I love butternut squash soup, too, and I'd attempt making some if I could get past the "peeling the squash" part!

do you have a good peeler?
also I cut it in half across first and then work on the 2 sections. They can be scary to cut.
ps I can also get it pre cut and peeled in my store.

Ok, I'll be looking for it that way! LOL!
I'm the kind of cook who pays more for chicken parts so I don't have to peel off the skin and cut off all the icky parts! LOL!

1 lb chopped meat, beef, pork veal combo, turkey or just beef.
A handfull each of bread crumbs, pecorino romano cheese, fresh pasrley chopped, some fresh basil if you have it
an egg, pepper, a little salt, garlic powder.
Form a loaf. I don't use a loaf pan. Surround with onions or shallots and peas. Cook at 350 covered for 30 minutes uncoverd for another 10-15. Peas are optional, Mom uses them, me not so much.
I use the same recipie for my meatballs.

The family LOVED "my" version of Miss Vie's rice and beans with meat sauce! Yay

Now I'm interested to taste the real thing again and see if I was anywhere close.
I think I used too much coconut milk in the rice and beans, but everyone loved it.
