I absolutely LOVED it!! It was soooo good. I couldn't find leeks or tarragon here--even the English speakers didn't know what they were. I ended up substituting with fresh basil, green onions, fresh garlic, and a couple other dry spices. It still tasted really, really good. I'm curious what the flavor difference would be though--I've never cooked with leeks or tarragon before! <br /><br />Then I made the crostata tonight. I really like it, but I'm not sure I did it right. I was imagining a thinner, crispier crust, but it was quite soft and a little bit puffy and thick. Not that that is a bad thing at all. Like I said, I really liked it--so much so, I think I had three helpings. With every bite I'm thinking, I'm eating straight butter and sugar... I should NOT be eating another helping. I loved the light lemon flavor. Anyway--what size of pan did you use? How thick did it end up being after it was baked? <br /><br />Thanks for the recipes (to you and your friends). :) I loved them!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07310362041259038709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039174931450381.post-3113941681107456222010-05-15T11:16:12.357-07:002010-05-15T11:16:12.357-07:00OMG!!!!!

I love that Massimo felt honored. :) A...Annalisa - <br />I love that Massimo felt honored. :) And just so you know, I loved the cheesecake. When I say "ridiculous" I mean that it's so delicious that it's ridiculous. It was so light and creamy! And no, I am not super woman. No where near! Ha ha ha ha. That's funny that you say that. I actually just made everything during the boys' naptimes. And anything I made while David was awake I had him help me with (he really loves baking, it's cute). And not to mention, it all took me 2 weeks! But thanks again for the recipes. I've shared the crosata I made with some other people and they all thought it was so good and asked for the recipe! Miss you tons. Can't wait to see you in September!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01672360964758275074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039174931450381.post-17275347784144669612010-05-02T06:52:02.172-07:002010-05-02T06:52:02.172-07:00Well I guess runner up is meritable. I was impress...Well I guess runner up is meritable. I was impressed with the presentation of both the cheescake and the crostata. I was very happy to see that you make them both and liked them both. I want to try the lemon pave...let's see, how did you find time to make all of those yummy reciepes...you must be super woman or something. Massimo loved the nutella comment and he feels honored. By the way, when you said it was ridiculous what did you mean, that it was simple?? Did you like it??? Loved the challenge, good job!!!Annalisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07158580012122091854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039174931450381.post-50961096923178360212010-04-30T16:46:02.585-07:002010-04-30T16:46:02.585-07:00You're right Nicole, I do love Lemons!!! And ...You're right Nicole, I do love Lemons!!! And our favorite colors are like EXACTLY the same. So funny. Yay for July! I can't wait. This time we'll have to ALL go out for sushi, the boys included! But they can't come for glitter toes. :)Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01672360964758275074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039174931450381.post-23520066960023724902010-04-30T16:32:35.668-07:002010-04-30T16:32:35.668-07:00Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy! I won! I just...Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy! I won! I just knew you would love the LEMON! And you better believe I will be making the asparagus tart--pretty much looks amazing. I want it right now. This seriously makes me want to be there to bake with you all the time. Speaking of, we need to chat soon, I'm already planning when I get to see you in July. Glitter toes is a must by the way. My three favorite colors? Hmmmm... that is a hard one. My all time fave is fuchsia, but not too hot pinkish. The next two, I don't really know. I really love dark oranges, mostly burnt orange, but with fuchsia, a brighter orange looks better. I also love a bright olive green--like the one I used in my living room and bedroom. But I don't think that really compliments the other two colors too well... Dark eggplant purples and mustard yellow are good... so is a dark turquoise...I don't know, you are good at putting things together, I'll leave it up to you. :) Thanks, by the way, I'm SUPER excited!!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07310362041259038709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039174931450381.post-90618322628815216622010-04-30T11:51:46.272-07:002010-04-30T11:51:46.272-07:00SERIOUSLY?

But mostly I'm laughing outloud at your shout out to poor Shelley...hilarious.<br /><br />As for colors, I really only have one favorite color which is dark red. Other than that, I'll leave it up to you.<br /><br />Thanks again! I feel so honored! And I can't wait to make that lemon cake by the way, looks amazing...Grapefruithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13464770152406038939noreply@blogger.com
