A Good Idea… Sort of…

Friends,

If ever you decide to make a potato bacon torte (or a pie, or anything with a crust, really), use caution when carving cute things into your crust.  Think carefully about what it is you’ll be carving later, and decide if you are okay with slicing through it.  This, for example, seemed like a good idea at the time, but made me feel like an awful, awful murderer when I had to slice through it:

Aww, it’s adorable!  Now cut it up and eat it.    It’s possible there is such a thing as *too* happy…

Anyway, check out the recipe for the torte… it’s totally tasty & one of my husband’s favorites.  Just don’t carve happy faces into your crust.  Seriously. })i({
