pies
I baked homemade pies for the first time this last weekend. My first pie - a blackberry/blueberry mix, with blackberries picked from the backyard - turned out pretty well. Alas, the repeat last night was screwed - I forgot to turn the stupid oven off the preheat setting, and totally scorched the pastry. Hopefully today's pie, to be brought as a dessert offering to Santa Cruz tonight, will turn out better.
