Even though life would have been hard and it seemed to be cold all the time, I took away a feeling of cosiness, a close family, satisfying hard work in the home, thick patchwork quilts and simple times.

I'm starting the Plum Creek one today.<br /><br />Theresa, I will cook up a storm for you!

Thank you!<br /><br />J, I used my own crust recipe because I have a divinely simple one that has worked for everything I can imagine. It's just butter, flour, a bit of salt and ice water. As for the recipe...I urge you to seed the tomato or you will end up with a soggy tart. I also sliced mine thick (they were a wee bit slippery when peeled), and would try and slice much thinner next time. It was delicious though!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746233349847124744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822567602957274526.post-48574857580782061932010-08-10T23:59:50.375-04:002010-08-10T23:59:50.375-04:00I can hardly wait to taste your wonderful looking ...I can hardly wait to taste your wonderful looking foods!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535478893365523323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822567602957274526.post-9625009514667977962010-08-10T22:13:46.770-04:002010-08-10T22:13:46.770-04:00Oh - and that Tomato Tart looks divine.

Was that because you didn't like the one from the recipe??<br /><br />JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822567602957274526.post-83219608081909600062010-08-10T22:12:16.312-04:002010-08-10T22:12:16.312-04:00It's funny - I never read or watched the "...It's funny - I never read or watched the "Little House on the Prarie" books/tv show. It's funny....but in the natural "dividing up" of book series between sisters (she collects that one, I collect this one, my other sister collects a different one....) my elder sister got the "little House" books, and apart from a quick skim once, I never really read them. (I was a Chalet School girl - even as an 8 year old I preferred books about bi-lingual schools set on continental Europe!)<br /><br />But after reading your post and admiring all the baking, I think they will be the perfect books to curl up with and re-read a childhood classic - especially as the rain batters down and the steak and Guinness pie (an adaption of Jamie Oliver's recipe) is in the oven. It has three hours cooking time, so I'll have to make a note to pick up the book when I go shopping this afternoon. The "Little House in the Big Woods" is the first one, yes? I seem to remember my elder sister telling me that much, at least!<br /><br />Oh! And a recipe for the salmon croquettes please??? They sound DIVINE! <br /><br />JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822567602957274526.post-62027242823998133462010-08-10T21:23:34.808-04:002010-08-10T21:23:34.808-04:00Those kind of books always make me feel so lazy an...Those kind of books always make me feel so lazy and pampered!
