    You only need to survey 1500 Australians to extrapolate out nationally. I did not know that. #bigdata @TalentInt @datalicious

    Multi-attribution of conversions shows display ads massively undervalued by advertisers. Even if ppl don’t click them! #bigdata @TalentInt

    Great talk at @TalentInt this morning. Just wish guys wouldn’t assume women aren’t technical based on how they’re dressed! #proudtechie

    @datalicious Heh, no problem. I was pretty sure Christian was going to be corrected by his wife anyway. 🙂

    Whoa! Just realised the tart I made today was actually by Yotam Ottolenghi, same as @mrs_sockvictim’s caramel mac cheesecake. Huh!

    @randomknits Are those little pattypan squash? I love those!

    @LeenaVanD I’ve just started reading Diane Keaton’s memoir that contains excerpts from her mom’s journals. Not far in yet though.

    RT @sonofswiss: Rock star, scarf maker and scrupulously ethical businesswoman – totally love @kelleydeal. Hope it warms up in Dayton! http:…

  • Caramelized Garlic Tart

    Caramelized Garlic TartSo today was Zena’s birthday tea party, and I volunteered to bring a savoury quiche of some sort. I settled on Martha’s Caramelized Garlic Tart*. I used frozen puff pastry, but the rest was all from scratch. My tart pan isn’t as big as the one specified, so I actually made two smaller tarts (keeping the more rustic one pictured for the Snook). It involved three full heads of garlic, and we used the metal bowl trick to peel them in less than a minute. For the cheese, I used a goat’s chevre and then a normal gouda (since I couldn’t easily find goat’s gouda). I subbed in sour cream for the crème fraîche (because it’s the same thing for twice the price, Martha). The tart was a massive hit! Everybody loved it and asked for the recipe, so here I am blogging it. Definitely a lovely and not-too-difficult one for a brunch or party.

    * Unbeknownst to me, the recipe wasn’t actually written by Martha. Instead it’s by chef Yotam Ottolenghi, who also came up with the beautiful caramel macadamia cheesecake that Fiona made for the party. Clearly, I need this dude’s cookbook.
