Grandchildren have been visiting all week and the oldest one has been talking about blackberry pie since his visit here last year, so....

I made him his OWN blackberry pie this morning. He shared it with us at suppertime and will take the remaining half home to Georgia with him tomorrow. It was a big hit and he ate a huge piece. He even contributed by picking blackberries with his Grandpa.

Sounds delicious


That's the stuff memories are made of.

Adorable LPBeier!!

Thanks, Patty! I wish we had gotten pictures of the early ones where our young artist was giving personal character to every bear. Unfortunately time made us streamline a bit!

Managed to stand the oven being on long enough in this heat to bake a tart crust so I could take a Fig Tart to a brunch tomorrow. I had the Fig Preserves already made and frozen for the filling.

Thankfully, the weather seems to be breaking.

We're doing brownies today. But, the probably won't have time to cool before they're all gone

For my DIL's birthday, instead of a cake, I made her chocolate cupcakes (a box mix ~blush~), frosted with peanut butter frosting, topped with a quick ganache dip. She loved them.

Made 3 tins of brownies for the nurses tomorrow. But ramped them up by using milk instead of water and added some cinnamon and chili powder plus nuts and chocolate chips. Hope they taste good.

It's my day off so I finally got around to making the ricotta raspberry scones from smitten kitchen. I couldn't bring myself to use so much full fat ricotta (in fact, I mistakenly bought full fat when I'd planned to run in and buy fat free/low fat) and cream. So I used fat free greek yogurt in place of cream and some of the ricotta. Cut the pieces she recommended into 6 and stuck a fresh raspberry (the last of the season from our canes) on each and they came out a great size. I also, as usual, used less sugar so they came out a little tangy and not sweet - really good. Even my husband likes them.

We're about to make a blueberry pie from the first picking of the year. (My bushes aren't ready yet but there are plenty of places to pick.) It was part of the first meal he ever made for me 20 years ago today. (Or maybe tomorrow.)

Now, just trying to think of what to make for dinner (omelets with ricotta and chopped herbs and arugula from the garden?) for quick after tae kwon do class....
