I am taking it to a friend's house tomorrow but I am worried that it didn't come out right. What is the texture of the tart supposed to be like? I let it bake for 48 minutes and it was quite brown...I am afraid it might have dried out.Cookie2https://www.blogger.com/profile/05183327147599736762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104208349190221469.post-9442897910826795482008-01-18T12:28:00.000-08:002008-01-18T12:28:00.000-08:00I can handle it alright.What I am having trouble w...I can handle it alright.<BR/><BR/>What I am having trouble with is my husband's horrid breath.
