Day 277
There is a lot to be said about working in the kitchen with a friend. You never know what the results might be!
Betty, Robert and I, we have been creative in the kitchen this past summer! This season we made Rhubarb, Cherry and Raspberrycellos! We are not about to toss away alcohol infused fruit. So, a batch of jam was made. We still had some fruit left over and today was Pie making day!
Sampling is always the best and favorite part of baking/cooking in the kitchen. Sipping and sampling the cellos as we are filtering and bottling our delicious product. The jam we spread on fresh bread and licked the spoons and the pot! Tasting the first cookie fresh from the oven....
How do you sample a pie.. unless you bake the whole pie... but instead we made 'Hand Pies' esp. to taste!

Rhubarb with Strawberry & Cherry cello Hand Pies ready for the oven. Fingers crossed that they will taste great!

How did they taste? Well, what can I say..... You just got to be here to experience our creation! Our experiment was a hit!
Next weekend is Thanksgiving, and we will be baking one of the pies to have for our dessert! Served with whipped cream or ice cream... we will see!
Until tomorrow!

"Happiness is cooking with friends and eating together!" Thank you Betty and Robert! xx
Wow!! The kitchen was filled with the smell of fresh baked “pie-lets”. It fills the sense and starts the urge to find a fork, better yet a spoon. There is something incredibly delightful about this time of year, when the weather is turning, to walk into your house and be bathed in the aroma of baked goods. A simple dish, defined as “a baked dish of fruit, or meat or vegetables, typically with a top and base of pastry”. A “pot-pie” generally only has pastry top and with the current pastry receipt I think a few of these may be on the agenda as the freeze well adding a nice winter meal.
