The Facts Were These

In honor of my now-defunct favorite show Pushing Daisies, and due to the fact that over Winter Break I found myself unable to sit still for very long, I decided to try my hand at pie making. I'm not especially enamored with pie (and there are only two pie eaters in our household anyway since the cats are watching their waistlines), so we brought a few pies to our neighbors.

This is the first pie I've ever made in my life

And thankfully it didn't kill anyone!

I had to re-top this cherry pie twice;
The crust-holes are supposed to be hearts.

We made more pies, but this pumpkin one was the last of which we remembered to take a picture

In Other News:

Falkor had a banana sticker on his head for several days


My brother Austin bought ANOTHER dog and named him Jack


So Josh made him fly


And I (VERY BRIEFLY) closed Jack in his food tub and laughed hysterically


And Also:


Our backyard was covered in snow

I'm so glad you've fulfilled the measure of your creation! I've also been experimenting with pies of late and I really outdid myself for Thanksgiving in artistry. I have a little stamp that makes a fleur de lis (the boyscout flower thing that is ACTUALLY the symbol of royal france not grubby little boys) which was the crowning glory of my pastry.

You should look at my other blog page; I have the first pie I made on there.

Also, I have a link to great pie decorating tips, given by the qeueen of pies herself, Martha.

You decorating your cat reminds me that once my brother got so board tht he colored our white cat's nead yellow with a highlighter. She ws yellow for weeks.

I love Pushing Daisies too and I can't believe that they canceled it!

Those pies look great, I can't even imagine how much time it took you to make all those. I'm sure the cats were very disappointed that they didn't get to try any.

I am honored to be the recipient of one of those luscious pies. You can share your talent with us anyday:0)I love the randomness of this post and I would have laughed hysterically at Jack in his food tub too.
