A cherry pie routinely sat atop the counter that was created by the dishwasher. The kitchen appliance that appeared in my grandparent’s kitchen one random year because someone somewhere thought it necessary that two aging folks needed a dishwasher after 70 some years of living without one. It wasn’t the sort that is stationary andContinue reading “Cherry Handpies”

Plum Tart
Growing up – we had a plum tree in the backyard. In the far northeast corner of the yard – bellied up next to the stone covered alley and at the edge of the property line. I think it was a plum tree…I mean, it is what the whole family extended and otherwise referred toContinue reading “Plum Tart”
Blue Cheese and Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Galette
I haven’t the slightest idea of what to talk about today. I mean, Mardi Gras is happening so we could chat about baking tiny babies into cakes or about eating our weight in jelly donuts that are then rolled in sweet glorious sugar and consumed in such high quantities on Fat Tuesday that it makesContinue reading “Blue Cheese and Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Galette”
Chocolate Silk Pie
You guys, it is Monday again…I feel like I was just looking forward to a darn weekend and here it is over and I am dragging myself towards another week, that is brimming with work and while I am grateful for it, it leads me to just crave Saturday morning where there is no angryContinue reading “Chocolate Silk Pie”
Plum and Pluot Galette
Today we are talking cookbooks. Our firsts and favorites. It is like first kisses and dates….but less awkward. Mom and grandma both had very similar if not identical versions of The Betty Crocker Cookbook. Red, with what I imagine were once white pages but now light brown with age and use. Pages torn andContinue reading “Plum and Pluot Galette”

Buttermilk Lemon Chess Pie
Did you spring break? Break for spring. I am still waiting on spring…but that is another story…I won’t talk about the snow that greeted me this morning that had me silently weeping and cursing mother nature and wishing I lived in where snow was not in the vernacular after the calendar moved beyond winter. (sideContinue reading “Buttermilk Lemon Chess Pie”
Oatmeal Raisin Pie
A snow day on a Saturday…which lets make this clear, all of my snow days are on Saturdays and Sundays. Oh! how I was not aware of my love of snow days when I picked a profession that A) doesn’t recognize snow as a reason to not work and B) a profession that in case of aContinue reading “Oatmeal Raisin Pie”
Lemon Tart
I have taken a bit of a break. Unexpected and unintentional…. Nights where I would normally plop down and flip on the TV to something mundane and focus most of my attention on editing photos – just a bit of a tweak…up-ing the contrast or brightness – not a whole lot, because in all honesty,Continue reading “Lemon Tart”
Chocolate Pecan Pie
Or it might be a tart…. A tart pan was used in the making of this pie. Or tart. Ugh, I don’t know. A tart pan with fluted edges and a removable bottom. Very French. Also, the cheapest thing I have ever purchased from William Sonoma. That store kills me. For the purpose of this postContinue reading “Chocolate Pecan Pie”
