Valerie is such an inspiration with her always curious and experimental personality. she's never one to step down from a challenge, that's for sure. <br /><br />thank you for sharing some history of these Portuguese custard tarts with us. that was an interesting read. those tarts look divine. i have never tried a Portuguese custard tart before, but i sure do want one now.lequanhttp://www.luvtoeat.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-52341776705983451092011-02-01T08:53:32.495-08:002011-02-01T08:53:32.495-08:00What a fun idea.

I wonder if I can find a blogger who would want to cook with me in my currently gimpy state.<br /><br />When a Portuguese restaurant opened in my neighborhood recently, I ate there and had one of these for dessert. I was disappointed. It wasn't that the tart was bad in concept. I think it just wasn't prepared well, or it had gone stale when they served it. I think I would have enjoyed it more if you had prepared it!

I slated it for 24:01 as there was no am or pm on the post time... SO SORRY. It is up now. Look at how many people missed that link! And, many did visit... but, it is up now.<br />I knew you would write about the history, Valerie. So interesting to learn - and so fun to hear about your young dancing days. Hilarious! You were such a good girl. I just got fake ID. (Hope my mom doesn't read this! He he)<br />I didn't have to put mine under the broiled and didn't know the black marks were indicative of them for sure... so kind of tried to pull them out of the oven as soon as they started to form! But, almost all had little freckles! I see your pastry is so much darker than mine. That must be because your oven went to 550 and mine didn't. (Kitchen Aid Convection, too!!! Ah, well, it goes as low as 170 and I do love that)<br />Thank you SO SO SO much for this invitation. You really challenged me and the triumph after was so worth it. It also got me over a little personal barrier where I have been very hesitant to join any blogoshere initiatives. I was tickled pink with your invitation and so appreciated our time together doing this.<br />BIG TIGHT HUG!<br />Valerie (a member or the "V Club"!)A Canadian Foodiehttp://www.acanadianfoodie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-87038513005229351492011-01-30T07:07:59.564-08:002011-01-30T07:07:59.564-08:00These look great and thank you for the history, th...These look great and thank you for the history, that was fun to read.
