Could you make the sandwich ahead, then fill a day or so before going? - MariaDNoCA - 11:44am on 06/05/15

This sounds doable...I wonder if the airline would confiscate the filling? [NT] - MarilynFL - 10:00am on 06/06/15

You could try a Zuchinni Corer or a melon baller. . . [LINK] - mistral - 1:48pm on 06/05/15

with the 2 eggs, I would be inclined to cut it in half, then make your tart and keep the bit extra - AngAk1 - 3:22pm on 06/05/15

I agree with Ang but you could use Egg Beaters to cut the egg - orchid - 4:50pm on 06/05/15

The reason I don't like to freeze left over is because I don't always make anything - oli - 6:33pm on 06/05/15

27714. Two words: Miso Butter. I'm in love! Toss with roasted veg - Traca - 6:43pm on 06/16/15 (5)

lorijean posted this shrimp recipe up in 27690 and the miso butter is quite different with the ratio [LINK] - AngAk1 - 6:53pm on 06/16/15

I think the ratio is different because it's paired with delicate shrimp. David's version is bolder [LINK] - Traca - 7:03pm on 06/16/15
That is about the ratio I used from that shrimp recipe--less butter and more - Charley - 9:24pm on 06/16/15

I've never worked with Miso Paste and the miso butter intrigues me. I wonder - KarenNoCA - 2:33pm on 06/17/15
