Too funny!
Number of times I wish I could have been there to meet you : 1000000000000...
Haha what an awesome event timeline! P.S. That tart picture has me writhing with hunger on the floor! Great blog :-)
your tounge is pierced--trust me, i would've commented on that, too if i'd been lucky enough to go to sf! hehe. (but how is it that lunch was awful at a food bloggers' conference?) awesome tart--i'd like to stick my finger in that caramel layer!
I must say, you got the perfect slice for your pictures! What clean, crisp lines. A work of art!
Ha! Great post. It was so fun meeting you. The conference was great huh? Minus the lunch:) I hope we can cross paths again!
Very fun to read all of this from the conference. Sounds like you all had a great time. Your tart is very lovely. How did you get all those layers so precise? My ganache was soft at room temperature and oozed onto the caramel layer, but yours stayed so nice and perfectly clear! Wow.
Too funny! It was great to meet you! - mary (you know, The. Food. Librarian.) :)
Sounds like you had a fantastic time, except for lunch, at the conference. Lucky you!!
Tart is lovely. Nice and clean and perfect.
Well, at least you didn't have to say "Nancy. The Dogs Eat the Crumbs" How awkward is that? Guess it's a good thing I stayed home. That and lunch here is always good;)
Those of us on the home front had a case of food-blogger-envy; so glad you got to go and that you had a great time.
Now I wish I had a piece of your tart to snack on.
Your tart looks amazing! Great recap of Blogher :)
I can't believe that about the Bertolli meals! Your tart looks great.
Gorgeous tart. I love how all of your layers are the same thickness, it really makes it look especially scrumptious! BlogHer sounds like it was a blast, hoping to make it next year...
Your tart is perfect. Sounds like you had a great time.
A Bertoli meal???
For lunch???
oh.my!
Your tart looks fabulous.
Love your by the numbers post. Only two drinks??
Your tart looks fab. (by the way went to post office today. expect it soonish...)
Wow your tart looks so good and the layers are wonderful! Im glad you liked the recipe!
Dear Caitlin ! It's a great post !And I wish I was there to meet you !(any Caitlin is the engineer baker for me !!) Can't wait for the puff pastry !!
Those frozen meals really burned everyone, didn't they?
Sounds like you had a great time, though!
I can't believe the tweets about the frozen lunch...God it's a food blogger conference for goodness sakes. I would have wanted this yummy tart too. But it still looks like you had a great time with fellow bloggers.
times i laughed out loud while reading this: 1! :)
great looking tart!!
SOOO wish i was there, would have loved to meet you! The tart looks great, bet you would have had a much happier lunch crew.
I've been reading all sorts of comments from other SF attendees - we need to see more pictures of the food! Go Bertoli!
And I knew your tarts would be kick ass.
Woohoo! Your tart looks absolutely perfect - I'd love to get me some of that.
It looks so perfect!
I have been reading so many blog posts about that conference I'm about to burst out crying that I didn't get to meet any of you!!!
OK, about that tart, it was the best ever!
a frozen bertoli for lunch? Hee..hee...you made me spit out my drink on my keyboard..I am so glad you had fun...
Great post, Caitlin. =) Glad that you enjoyed yourself in SF. I'm definitely in the number of people who are envious and would like to have been there. Oh, and your tart looks fabulous. =)
From one runner to another...your tart looks fabulous!
your tart looks so perfect!!! like something you would buy
I am so bummed I didn't meet you at BlogHer. I was there, you were there. Never saw you. Course, all I have to go by is your profile picture. Bumma, maybe next time!
Great post! Delicious looking tart. I didn't get back from SF until Monday night, so I haven't made the tart yet. I'm having a giveaway on my blog though!
Eh?! I've only known you a few months but you are readily recognizable to me- Caitlin P., the engineer baker! (then again, I'm more attentive than most and it pays to be on twitter, huh)
You guys crack me up with the whole lunch deal. Those folks at Bertolli must be so embarrassed!
Your tart looks so beautiful and your layers are so distinct! I love it!
You are hilarious! Can I say how jealous I am that you got to go to Blogher? Sweet! Your tart looks perfect!
Stunning tart! I loved this recipe and after seeing your pictures, I want more. BlogHer sounds like a blast. 13 hours to S.F.? Ouch.
That looks seriously delicious.
Perfection - this is the only way I can describe this tart.
I adored your recap. It was a pleasure meeting you and I am so thrilled to say that I was present for 1 of the 2 times you convinced Jen to drunk Twitter.
wow how did your slice turn out so perfect? not all mushy like mine......
That lunch sounds nasty. How can they do something like that? Maybe it was a joke? But agree this would have been worth smuggling in as a clearly superior substitute. So jealous there are all these lovely conferences in the US.
That is the cleanest, most perfect slice of anything I have ever seen. Anything with caramel is a winner in my book.
Could your layers possibly be any more perfect??? Gorgeous tart!
