So many uses other than jam. Strangely enough, I don't like to snack on them. But my mom? She'd wrestle you for the last bunch.

I have been wanting to try using the concord grapes for something. So far I have just been snacking on them. That looks good! I have been wanting to try using the concord grapes for something.

Glad to know I'm not the only baker who struggles with pastry. Unfortunately, many of my family members like pie. A lot. Lori, I go the crisp route every time I can.

It lulls you into thinking you can do it with your eyes closed!! You have problems -- usually in direct proportion to the number of guests you're expecting and inverse proportion with the amount of time left for a re-do. My recipe for pate brisee doesn't call for vinegar. Perhaps it should... See — pastry is fickle! It lulls you into thinking you can do it with your eyes closed!!

I've only seen photo perfect galettes. Love the idea of passing them off as buckles! Concord grape custard tarts? OOOOOooohhh. I can almost taste them!

The eye contact, dramatic pause and head tilt (as if to say, "Are you getting all this?") are dead giveaways. Glad to know I'm not the only one to be challenged with galettes. And letting them cool does help -- but it's so hard to wait! Cheryl, I swear, people have started feeding me quotes.

Waxed paper seems to be a key. Love the freezer trick. I'll have to try this next time. Great tips, Lorraine. Waxed paper seems to be a key. Love the freezer trick. I’ll have to try this next time.
