I made a pie today. I was able to do so because it has been fairly cool here lately. Upper 60’s low 70’s… I love it. I stepped outside my Pie Comfort Zone (PCZ) and made something different. I pretty much have pumpkin and pecan down pat. It’s my job to make them for Thanksgiving. But it’s not pumpkin pie season. In keeping with my P Pie theme, I made peach. I hunted the peaches down at the farmers market, skinned and butchered them myself. I did not, however, make the crust. I’m not a complete fool.
It turned out scrumdilicious. I would have taken pictures of the making and final product except… I’m no better at photography than I am cooking. Besides, my kitchen was a mess. And not in an interesting artistic way. I was cooking piles of bacon at the same time I was making pie. For bacon bits, for baked potatoes. Anyhoo, L is someone who not only cooks amazing things, but also takes fabulous pictures of what she is making. Go look at her site if you want to see pretty food.
I make up for the lack of “interesting” in my post by providing you with a nice link to another blog. See how that works?
Mmmm..peach pie. Mmmm…I want some SO bad! I am so impressed with your multi-tasking cookery! You’re actually starting to scare me, kind of like gelatinous nut pie scares me. 😉
My mother used to complain that she never had anything to show for the works of art she created. Some mothers knitted, or sewed, or did other crafty things that resulted in something that lasted for years. My mother baked and after a couple of days, she said, there was nothing left of her creations.
So, I started photographing her cakes and pies.
I’d mostly forgotten about that until I read this so-called ‘uninteresting’ post.
mmm. peach pie. the peaches were calling to me at the market today too… but unfortunately, I had to resist. too much other stuff to do today!
thanks for the link jodi!
“Yummmm, but what are these crunchy pieces…”
“Oh, that’s bacon!”
