Also, I forgot to say it’s awesome that people in Arizona don’t like to buy anything dated past the “best by” date. Thus, all bakery unsold by 9 pm goes on clearance for next morning. Same for any type of meat. And there are huge sales on pork chops too, often, because those same folks just don’t buy much pork in Arizona. #Pie #CreamPie #Sugar #Dessert
FYI I’m the only one in the family who likes coconut cream pie. Drew will sometimes eat it. So it’s unlikely I will make one myself. I also miss a good lemon meringue pie for this reason too and also lack of a Real bakery near me in Phoenix.
Note to @evoterra Barb’s Bakery used to have good pies but now I live 16 miles due West. And I found out that place supports MAGA. #Pie #CreamPie #Sugar #Dessert
Score! I like early mornings at a grocery when I can get something “day old” at around half price. Especially something I would not ordinarily buy but is a pleasant luxury. Keeping in mind I live nowhere near a “real” bakery, especially not a Real bakery (ok, I mean European, East Coast or Chicago-area bakery) here is my treasure today. Seriously, I’d never buy a grocery store pie at $15. But $7 is a solid maybe for coconut cream. #Pie #CreamPie #Sugar #Dessert
Hey, wait a minute, a piece is missing!
Oh, that would be my breakfast.
Big thanks to everyone offering support and well wishes this past few days.
Today has been better than yesterday. We are finally going the right direction. Summer's pal registered a temperature reading that was under 100°F.
He is also keeping food down and getting restful sleep.
Summer has been helping me while he naps. We got the lawnmower tuned up and cleaned up underneath. I mowed the other half of her front acre.
She did get a surprise though running into a small bobcat that was holed up in our old chicken house. Yikes! I got her to back off before she got hurt. I am so glad she obeys me even in a stressful standoff with a cat that could hurt her.
Laundry is almost caught up and an apple pie is fresh out of the oven.
I suspect tomorrow will be an even better day for her pal.
Things are looking up.

All my willpower is currently dedicated to not eating a random midday piece of this Salted Caramel Pie I made for @yaypie as April’s #HomemadePieOfTheMonth. I therefore have no willpower with which to resist boasting about it!
(Recipe from Justice of the Pies by Maya-Camille Broussard.)
April's cocktail pie - Strawberry Mojito Impossible Pie
I was feeeeling strawberries this month, so I've gone for a Strawberry Mojito - made with white rum, lime juice, mint, strawberries, sugar and soda water.
My pie is a self-crusting(!) rum and lime custard pie, piled high with fresh strawberries and mint, and drizzled with a mint-lime glaze.

My great-grandma Shorty’s chess pie recipe baked in her pot pie tins. She used to bake a hundred of these for church events and bake sales in Cooloomee, NC.

Yesterday, I made a rhubarb pie from rhubarb that I picked from my grandmother's patch. That patch has been giving for more than 60 years!
The great thing about making a rhubarb pie yesterday is I get to have rhubarb pie for breakfast today.
When I lived in NYC, I could never find rhubarb. I only got it once from my CSA that was based in Upstate NY.
Now that I've got access to tons of rhubarb, I need to find some rhubarb recipes. I welcome recommendations.

St Helens 'Oldest Pie' at The Turks Head
Pre-COVID, I baked a pie almost every week for a little over a year. It was a very fun project, I learned so much about my favorite dessert, refined techniques, experienced new pies (Dried Apple Pie was probably my favorite forgotten pie). It was all documented on a site named “Year of Pie.” It was lost to SquareSpace, though.
But thanks to a post from @toddtyrtle, I discovered that static site generators had become a thing. With the help of the Way Back Machine, I was able to grab an 90% complete version of the old text. And all the old photos have been on a hard drive, because why toss pics of pie?
So, it’s rough. There are major missing pieces. There are obvious layout issues. Old posts are being added every few days, but happy enough to put it out there.
Edit: American sweet pies, not English savory pies. Though a few of those were made later in the project.

Controversial opinion. Ritz crackers have more flavour than some apples.
