On (expensive) Pie

Written by Erica. Filed Under Family, food, friends

Tonight, we blondes (ok, three of us) will venture forth to our hometown fair to celebrate all of the wonderfulness of fall, and of pie.

This is going to sound ridiculous, but then again ‘ridiculous’ is pretty close to ‘normal’ for our family and friends. Basically, there will be several hundreds of dollars worth of homemade pie purchased in an auction (benefiting our local fair board) and consumed in a pie party at our farm. The pie might be made by a local with over 50 years of pie baking experience, or it might be baked by a teenager just starting out in the world of baking.

You receive only tiny slices, because there’s only around 5 or so pies purchased. Apple, cherry, or raspberry? A la mode? You got it. mmmmmm PIE…

It’s worth every penny. That our parents spend.

An open invitation is extended. Join us! BYOB. Also, BYO plate and fork.

PS: What is a pirate’s favourite arts and crafts material? Yaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrn! Happy Talk Like A Pirate day!

Thanks for bringing that up Carol…I was all packed up ready to go, fork in hand and hmmmm, no address. I’m just guessing but I don’t think that was a real invitation and frankly I am very hurt. And hungry for pie.
