It's PIIIIEEEEE!
Tonight I made Shirley O. Corriher's fresh strawberry pie recipe from Bakewise. It's only the second pie I've ever made, and the first I've ever made unsupervised. It was pretty easy to make, though the upside-down crust baking method Corriher recommended made my pie look a little rough around the edges. The filling, though, was super easy: put fresh strawberries in the crust; cook up a thick, jellied syrup for the filling; and stick it in the fridge. There's no second baking required!
I made the pie for my dad's birthday tomorrow. I've never been a big fan of pie, so I've never learned to make them, and I think he's suffered from the loss there many years! There were always cakes and cookies in the house, but the poor man couldn't get a slice of apple pie to save his life. But this is his year.
Dad, I hope it's fantastic when you cut into it tomorrow--this pie's for you!
