Pie is love

 I am set in my ways, but since retiring, I am becoming more open to trying new things. Today, I decided to try a different way to make pie crust. I used a recipe from a cookbook I’ve had for years - Baking with Jim Dodge. The recipe for Flaky Pie Dough was a little more work than the dough I usually make. It turned out beautiful and was so much easier to work with and roll out that I will make it my go to crust. 

Recently, I read an inspiring article in the Tampa Bay Times. Pie, once despised, became her pandemic salvation: Brittany Volk of St. Petersburg found solace in meticulous baking of pie, pie and more pie.

This blueberry pie isn’t as pretty as Brittany’s, but the sentiment is heartfelt ❤️.
