It was still delicious, though.

I think this tart was terrfic whether the caramel was a tad lighter or darker - I will try the traditinoal version next, the one that Dorie mentioned in her Bonnee Idée. Thank you also for all your wonderful and thoughtful comments - I really appreciate each and every one them!Andrea_TheKitchenLionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188562947486964076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5450646654324117823.post-24450875147166490382013-10-19T09:31:36.123-07:002013-10-19T09:31:36.123-07:00Both tarts look lovely ladies but I think Nana win...Both tarts look lovely ladies but I think Nana wins for getting the best color! Hands down the prettiest I've seen on any of the blogs! Caramel is kind of scary but Dorie doesn't let us down does she? I love your rectangular pan Tricia. I have one but forget to use it. I too have been trying to up my photo game. Yours look great. How can I miss you guys?

You also did a great job improvising…impressive pie weights. I used lentils…the only bean product I could find in my pantry. <br />You went to SF after Seattle? I was there, too! Patty and her husband met Bill and I for dinner! I loved SF! Those pastries look amazing…loved your post about the bakery. Wish I knew about it while I was out there.
