I almost used my glass pan. I think it would be fine but just makes it harder to cut - like pie. I'd try it.

I didn't have enough mozzarella for the tart so I lined the crust with sliced provolone. Yum!

This isn't anything I made, but I just have to share it with you!!

We went to some friends' house for dinner and they served these scallops as appetizers. They were absolutely wonderful!! Super easy, and even in real seashells!!

Love Trader Joe's!

me too! scallops, not so much! but they look cute

Mary Beth, I'm not a scallop lover, myself, and I never order them at a restaurant, but these were super good! Maybe it's like snails...it's not the "meat," it's the sauce it's in! (I've never had snails, but that's what I hear!)

So I made the tomato tart last night but it was kind of watery. Any tips on how to avoid that next time?

Hmmmm... It was a year or so ago that I made it, and I don't remember it being watery. If your tomatoes are super juicy, could you salt them a tad, and set them on paper towels, to draw some of the liquid out? I'm sure one of the experts will chime in...

that happened to me last year and Becky said she slices her tomatoes and lays them out on paper towels and sprinkles w a little salt. I did that this year and had much better results.

Thanks!

Yup! It really makes a difference to drain the tomatoes! I've had soggy tarts too, X!

Why did the words "soggy tarts" make me giggle?

Now that I think about it, it makes me giggle too!

We are on holiday in Lagrasse - drove here from Florence. I cooked tonight - fried chicken, rabbit, and potatoes - with a tomato and avocado salad:

I'll eat it all except for the rabbit.

That all looks so yummy! (although I'm not a rabbit person, either) How did you do the potatoes?
