Thanks Bordeaux!

Debbie, I think you’re right!

Jen’s combo really does sound dreamy. I am definitely going to have to try it.

Seems like our secret sherry shame is about to come out of the closet!

BTW, Jen, that mix sounds absolutely dreamy. Wayne is away next week overnight, so might have to make a very small portion just for me to indulge in…… but would have to add potato as well. Can’t get enough potato. Does the pastry freeze ok? Maybe I can make a mini one and freeze the rest of the pastry for another use later.

Ouch! Good luck with the sprained wrist. Potato and apple? How curious and very yummy sounding.

Oh my goodness Jen, I’m dying, that would be an amazing variation. No wonder you wear the white coat.

Do you have any sherry recommendations? What style do you guys prefer?

… and Brian is a sherry junkie. Our last year in Billings was a Sherry Research Fest. I feel a belt comin’ on!

I get a fall craving for a savory tart with Yukons, apples, sweet onions and a little crumbled cured pork (if not a smattering of Rogue blue)… It makes Fall, well, Fall-er.

Love this recipe!!! It can take all the headache out of making tart crust!

You’re on. It’s a date!

I shall pick some up next time I am in the UK so I will have it on hand when that time arrives. Cannot seem to find it here… sigh.

Debbie, I have a special affinity for the stuff, especially manzanilla style. Maybe we will have to indulge in our sherry shame together!

Oh My Goodness…. you drink sherry too!!!!!!! I thought I was the only sick puppy who still drank that stuff! How fabulous to find I have a partner in crime.

What is it with husbands (boys in general really) that they are monsieur poubelle?? I used to call my brother “garbage guts” as he ate anything that wasn’t nailed down…. and if it was nailed down he un nailed it and then ate it. Thankfully he has changed a great deal since reached adulthood and is slightly more selective in his appetites.

Thanks Debbie. I haven’t had to use a corkscrew yet, but that will come in handy soon I’m sure. I have been in the sherry a bit these days. A little nip here and there is just what the doctor ordered!

I am so glad Phil will eat anything I put in front of him. I think he may have been a goat in another life!
