I’m working hard at improving them. Oh, I shudder to think of how I polluted the web with flash-washed images a few years ago.

Getting parchment into pans can be tricky, but well worth the effort. . I should do a post dedicated to that. Thanks for sharing your frustrations. I’m sure you’re not alone in this.

Keep baking!

My real reason to comment though is to tell you how much I have been loving your photography. Really beautiful Charmian!

You’d think I could remember 3 things. Fortunately, things turned out in the end. But it’s hard to go wrong with asparagus, mushrooms and cheese. :-)

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made something and not been able to take photos before the ravening hoards fell upon it.

I was surprised at how well the red wine cheddar went. I will definitely be puttingit on my list — fingers crossed I don’t forget it!

Glad you liked the final product. It’s one of my favourite recipes. I can’t wati for the fresh berries and corn to come into my part of the world this summer. Blueberry and corn is a winning combination!

Sigh indeed! Thanks for commiserating.

OMG! It was SO good, Charmian! I made a couple of very minor alterations – I was making just 2 breasts instead of 6, so I improvised slightly. I used the juice of a whole lime (more, in other words) and I added agave nectar instead of honey, and I used a bit more than indicated. I also used panko crumbs (because that’s what I had on my pantry shelf). Loved using fresh corn, and our blueberries are about as big as cherries these days. My husband nearly licked the plate. I also added some fresh basil, and I’m sure I used more herbs than indicated, but hey, that didn’t hurt a bit! Thanks for sharing the great recipe. I’m going to post it on my blog in a couple of weeks, but I’ll include the link-back.

I’m not a chump, just post-menopausal. Sigh….
