I Made A Pie!

Granted the easiest pie ever, but a pie no less! My husband was way more excited about seeing this than my quilting.
It is a Graham Wafer pie (we call it Salisbury House pie - but that is probably a very local name), although I didn't actually have any graham wafers and had to use shortbread cookies, but it was still delicious. Basically a custard pie.
Here is a link for a similar recipe that I found on the web - they call it Flapper pie - the instructions say that it takes 6 minutes to make! Wow, who couldn't find the time to make a pie like that?! Mine took about 25 minutes. The recipe is very similar to mine, but I use 3 eggs,  no cinnamon in the crust, and I also don't wait for anything to cool.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!❤

Update - yes the pie in the photo is mine, and yes it was delicious! A bit sweet for me and I wouldn't add sugar in the crust next time.

Baking Covers

May Britt has been talking about baking covers - beautiful embroidered covers, common in Scandinavian countries. She asked us to post what we like to bake for a chance to win a give away she and Hanne are hosting.

I like to bake cookies and bars best, but I bake bread every few days. The bread that I make rises for the last rise in a tea towel. I don't have pretty embroidered baking covers but I do use tea towels that I have collected from some trips. The one in the picture is from our last trip to Italy.

Today we are having near blizzard conditions - you can't hear the howling wind in the picture, or see the blowing snow - but it is getting tiring! At least the sun finally came out.


The rabbit was eating anything he could find!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!♥
