Cherry pecan pie

[threeplusfire]

Pie! Cherry pecan pie in the making, just before the top crust goes on top.

Today I've baked and baked a lot. First there were blueberry scones, and then it was multiberry scones full of cherry, strawberry, blueberry and cranberry. Why have just one berry, eh? Then I remembered that I promised Mike a pie. I really had a craving for a cherry pie, one that wasn't drowning in syrup. I added some of the pecans Mike's grandmother gave to us in South Carolina, to add some crunch. It looks so good.

Then I had to make the meatloaf I also promised Mike. It is stuffed full of garbanzo beans, because they are delicious. I like to think it balances out all the pork added to the loaf. Plus garbanzo beans are kind of nutty.

While we were in South Carolina, my mother in law gave me several cookbooks because she doesn't cook. Many of them are the spiral bound church and school sale variety. I am especially partial to these. Hidden within the desultory recipes of casseroles and cheeseballs are sometimes fantastic regional gems, family cakes and scalloped potatoes. Of course, you also see casserole made with canned salmon, olives and pimento. But I think I've discovered a new favorite bizzaro recipe and I determined to make it sometime soon. It calls for wrapping bacon around tater tots and frying them. So wrong, and yet so potentially delicious.

It will only encourage me to cook even more and then who is going to eat all this food? :P

Oh, I see you found my misplaced food items, including scones, pies, and extraneous things. Simply drop them in the mail and I'll take care of the rest. :P

Be sure you check out the post from the 28th of the market in France. The olive seller is to DIE FOR.

I would like to face plant into one of those bins of olives.

Holy Jesus, will you adopt me please? I think when I die I will spend a notable portion of my afterlife eating cherry pie and bacon-wrapped tater tots.

Hahah, I think they are perhaps the great modern American foods. NOM.
