Delish

Family dinner night was a success.  Thanks to Walt Kowalski's suggestion, we had a tour of Italia. Salad, fresh bread, backed ziti, angel hair, and ravioli.

 

 

And dessert (of course). I had apples that were getting wrinkly in the basement fridge and thanks to Miss Wendy I've had a hankering for lemon bars.

Both were delicious...except. Except during the baking process, the sugar juices from the apple tartlets ran off the pan and onto the bottom of the oven.  The house filled with caramelized sugar smoke to the point where it was rolling out the kitchen window.  Smoke detectors blaring. 

Had a neighbor driven by at that moment they would have thought the house was on fire.  *sigh*

Surprisingly, when we came home, the house didn't smell of smoke as much as I expected.  It smelled good.
