I tried another recipe out today. On some PBS cooking show, I saw them make an asparagus tart with Gruyére cheese to bind it. So, I bought the supplies and prepared to make it. And then I wussed out and searched for a recipe and found this. It is really simple to make. Although I did manage to mess it up. I used a plastic pizza cutter to straighten the edges on the puff pastry dough. And then I tried to cut a border with it and “dock” the middle part with a fork. Unfortunately, I didn’t cut deep enough and the whole sheet rose up. But it was easy to recover from. I recut the border with a knife and pushed the middle down with a fork.

Next time, I will add some prosciutto ham to add another flavor note to the medley…

I also used two 1250 watt halogen lights to brighten up the picture. And to compensate for this yellowish light, I used an Expodisc. This is an 18% filter. You take a picture and use that picture (see above) as the color temperature of the following pictures. It is pretty surprising to see just how brown the light is…
