2:00 PM: Eight spinach tarts are in the refrigerator. Lunch has been eaten. Blancmange has been mixed, and some of it has gone into molds in the oven; depending on how this batch comes out, I'll adjust the texture and seasoning. Dishwasher has been emptied, filled, run, and emptied. Next: tart debris.

Guess what: the recipe is for a shallow-dish pie, and my pie pans are deep-dish, so it takes approximately twice as much filling to fill one. Given the choice between putting out skimpy-looking pies, with the crust and pan towering over the filling, and buying a little more egg and cheese, I'm opting for the latter. Hey, it's a protein source for the vegetarians....

The blancmange unmolded easily; the texture is somewhere between the first time we made it and the second. Which is a bit drier than I'd like, so I added a little more butter and almond milk and put another small batch in the oven.
