@NorcalGma2 You're so the best. You're my most wholesome friend.

Oh my.
Between my husband and I we ate a quarter of the pie for dessert.
It was still warm.
So good.
Hopefully I can muster some restraint before it looks good for breakfast tomorrow too.

@NorcalGma2 it does look most like breakfast

[norcalgma2@sfba.social]

@colo_lee
You are so right. We can take care of that in the morning with coffee.

[recantha@mastodon.social]

@NorcalGma2 (pause) Nahhhh.

[4d3fect@sfba.social]

@NorcalGma2 in my home, welp, that probably wouldn't make it past breakfast!

@NorcalGma2

Your flaky crust is superb!

@NorcalGma2 I literally started salivating upon seeing that picture lol

@NorcalGma2 My great aunt was interviewed for a book about old Vermonters. She described waking up at 4:30 every morning to get the fire going to bake a pie for breakfast, as I recall. She also went to culinary school and was a private school's chef-person and a professional baker later in life. I lived with her for part of high school and never had time for breakfast so she sent me to school with half a dozen donuts the nights I stayed with her. Good memories!

@TheEddieShow
Summer loves it if she can get a little piece of crust.

Vanilla Ice cream….

@madgeface
I love to bake. I've considered using pies and breads to make some extra money in the past but that was a long time ago. The ingredients cost more than I could get for the finished products these days.

@TywyllSeren
We used locally produced Jersey Scoops Vanilla Fog on the pie tonight.

@NorcalGma2
You can't be tempted with pie for breakfast if there's no pie left at breakfast

[madgeface@mastodon.art]

@NorcalGma2 I've noticed the increase in cost of raw ingredients also! I'm glad I invested in a bin that can hold (I think) 50lbs of flour, which I get at Costco. I've been trying my hand at sourdough for a few years (I jumped on that bandwagon long after the trend passed) and now can't eat store-bought bread.

@madgeface
I only buy bread for the free pantry.
I bake it occasionally but we don't eat very much bread.
I buy my flour and sugar at Costco.
Butter and cream too.
Good vanilla and all the spices are up as is Ghirardelli chocolate.
Baking is therapeutic for me so we end up giving more away than we keep.

[madgeface@mastodon.art]

@NorcalGma2 I love baking also; because of that great aunt, for a while in 3rd-4th grade I had a subscription to Gourmet magazine. These days my guys are all grown. My youngest graduates from college on Friday and will boomerang home for a while - he's my baker and always has room for desserts.

@NorcalGma2 Another quarter for breakfast tomorrow sounds very restrained, if you ask me.
