Halloweenie

Went over to co-worker's back yard and carved four pumpkins, ate her turkey veggie chili, and had my Nutella tarts (which could use a bit of work). Brought the pumpkin seeds home and have roasted them with salt and garlic - v. tasty.

No children will call tonight, since we're in an apartment building, so that saves us from buying candy, which is good because then there's no temptation.

When you perfect that Nutella tart, please post the recipe! Making my tummy growl. If you're near a Target, Nutella is much cheaper there than the grocery store. I'm not sure if that's good news or bad. :) ~Kate-h

All I did this time was spread Nutella directly on the unbaked dough and topped them off with almond slivers. Then I topped them with homemade vanilla whipped cream. They tasted good, but the Nutella dries out a little, so if I want it to be gooey I think I'll have to try something more along the lines of a pie filling.

Just fyi: a good thing to do with Nutella:

Take a salted foccaccia loaf (pizza bianca style), cut in in half lengthwise, so you expose the interior. Crisp it up a bit in the oven, spread nutella on top. Nutella pizza! Delicious with the salty-sweet thing. Mmm...

Have you tried blind baking the dough with pie weights, then adding the nutella into the cooked shell? There's no real reason nutella needs to bake, no?

Ooooh. Craving Nutella now...dang.

I was contemplating doing the blind bake thing - yeah, the Nutella probably is best not actually going into the oven. I'll try it next time. The dough is so easy to make that I want to keep playing with it.

After I read your post I had a piece of toast with Nutella. It is a powerful thing...

You guys are killing me here with temptation. I *cannot* buy a jar of Nutella, it will be gone within the week.

Man, do I want some Nutella.
