REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOOOOOD



I bought a lug of peaches and am madly working to get them peeled and cut up before they spoil. I added a little thyme to the fruit before pouring it it into the crust. Please oh please tell me you get the reference to that ubiquitous song from the late 70's. I believe it replaced the Carpenters' We've Only Just Begun in the wedding DJ portfolio. It was running through my head all morning as I made the filling.

FUN WITH PIE

I was so proud of this pie I had to share it -- at least pictures of it. I made a pie crust that was either a little dry or (more likely) I hadn’t rolled it out thin enough. So, figuring the top crust would crack I decided to do a lattice top. I was digging through my drawer of kitchen tools looking for the edger I used to cut the strips and came across the noodle cutter…hmmmm. I used it to cut tiny strips and put them on the pie. Is this not fabulous?! Raw was pretty. Baked was better.

This was just a standard apple pie save for the bits of thyme I added. I’ve been trying that more lately since I’m always overrun with fresh herbs from the garden and looking for new places to use them. Peach and basil pie was also to die for.
