Pie

I made a pie that I am so proud of that I just had to take pictures. And then what else would I do with the pictures but put them on my blog. I made a blueberry pie because Freshco had blueberries for $1 a pint and I went crazy and bought 4 pints. I used the pastry recipe from the book Vegan Bake Sale. It is by far the best pastry I have ever made but it was quite a bit of work so I think for my next pastry I will try following the recipe but skip a few steps and see how it turns out. And yes I really ought to buy a proper pie dish except I kind of like the idea of being known for my extra deep dish pies.I am most proud of my lattice crust, I almost didn't bother thinking it was too much work but it really wasn't and looks so good.

And with the extra pastry I made some little turnovers.
Some with raspberries from the garden:
And some with an old apple I found in the fridge:

Valentine's Dinner

For Valentine's Day dinner we made the most expensive pizza we could think of. We went to Vincenzo's to buy porcini mushrooms. We put the mushrooms on the pizza with sun dried tomatoes. We liked it but both preferred our regular pizza that we put eggplant and caramelized onions on.
And for dessert we had pumpkin pie.
