Joono, is this the asparagus tart we discussed last year?.  Wasn't there a discussion about whether to leave this asparagus to be added for the last few minutes of cooking? Are you going to do that this time?

You are right Prim - there was a discussion ..... to stop the asparagus drying out and sinking into the custard if I recall correctly.

No, I'll just follow the recipe as written Prim.  I don't mind it like that.  I think you like it still crunchy but I think if you put it on too late it wouldn't sink in a bit and would roll off.

The mushroom quiche sounds yum but as I am the only one in my household that really likes mushrooms it's not one I would normally cook for them.  

Well - either way sound yummy anyway j*oono and I do like the idea of a mushroom quiche.

Did you like mushrooms as a child? I didn't but love them now!

Funny how our tastes change and mature.

I think I have always liked them Laney.  Some things I never used to like and now I love them, such as coriander.  I could eat handfuls of that.

Also the first time I ate an olive and wondered why anyone would eat them and now they are a favourite.

Doesn't just the smell of coriander make you salivate?

It does me .... I think it is one of my very favourites.  Pity it is so difficult to grow well 

It grows here but it bolts too quickly.  It's always available in the shops so I just buy it now.

Likewise here - it bolts like a Melbourne Cup winner lol

Anyway - this is not getting the things done I need to do.  Will catch up with you later Prim and j*oono and anyone else lurking lol

Happy cooking!

Yes, I had better get on to it too.

Later gaters.

well, the shoppings done and it's turned out to be quite a nice day here.

now to decide what to wear tonight
