As I was making this pie I kept thinking, “This is why I don’t make pies very often.”  Even though there are fewer steps and fewer ingredients than your typical cake, baking a pie feels much more time consuming.  Peeling and slicing the fruit seemed to take forever.  But then I started making the lattice crust, and it was so easy and looked so beautiful that I resolved to make more pies.  And when I tasted the pie this desire became even stronger.  It was by far the best crust I’ve ever made.  It’s tender and buttery and really wasn’t that difficult to work with.  This pie bag made rolling the crust a breeze, but I see no reason why two sheets of Saran Wrap wouldn’t serve the same purpose.

I had such a wonderful time in Seattle and Portland.  The weather was delightfully cool,  the food was fantastic (and cheap), both cities were very bike friendly, and every person we met was nice.  There are a number of meals that I want to try and recreate at home, but first I have to use up all the peaches we got with our CSA last week.  On Thursday our fruit share contained a half peck of regular peaches and a half peck of donut peaches (the little disc-shaped peaches that look like UFOs).  I love peaches, but there’s no way I could eat that many in the five or so days before they go bad.  I considered making a peach pie, but it’s been so hectic at work since I got back that I haven’t had the energy to tackle pie crust in the evening.  Read the rest of this entry »
