If a corner could be a pie, this is what it would look like.
So, yesterday was an important time in my pie making. I turned a corner. There was a game night scheduled, and I decided I could 'throw together a pie.' Making pies have become so routine for me. That was my goal, and I've reached it.
I'm starting to see cranberries out, and I've got apples on the mind from last weekend's pie class. A quick mashup, and we've got a pie.

I only wish I would have had some of the New Humana Logo apples to make this pie with; that would have been a tol of fun. 

My 2011 New Year's Resolution was to either make or eat at least one homemade pie a month, and I've been making most of them. This month I decided to eat a pie, rather than make it. The best pie is pie made by pie virgins. Yes, I had two friends that had never made a pie. Tragic, I know. I was there to help them find their way to the best pie they've eaten; their own. It means so much more when you are the one that has made it.

They did a terrific job, as you can see.

I wish peach season would go on forever.

I just had lunch today with a friend, and we were talking about Pi Day coming up on March 14. I talked him into baking a Pie, and he is a 'classic' man. Yes, he does an apple pie and Derby pie. Nothing flashy, just a classic pie for a classic man.
Here pictured is the first pie I made, the classic apple. Showing off my classic lattice work. Pictured with my 'daily bourbon,' Buffalo Trace.

For Chanukah this year I got a square pie dish and a cherry pitter. I had been on a quest for a pitter, but wasn't going to pay over $10 for it. It's a cherry pitter; in retrospect of how much it meant to me and the realization that I wouldn't have lost a cherry season, I should have bought it.
The person that got the fabulous duo for me was coming into town from Baltimore, with her baby son. I had to pull out all the stops, and bring my best. This called for blueberry pie. I still had a stash of berries I had picked in the summer - I was hoping it was enough to fill the pie. The recipe? The standard crust, with a filling I threw together - flour and sugar, Blueberries I picked from Bryant's.
