Well, it's fall. Our days are shorter than our nights now. I am getting up later and later, because I just love to get up when it's just lightening up, it seems so natural. But I also dislike rushing in the morning, so I will have the find the happy medium.
I baked a pumpkin pie today; we have some new employees at the library and one has a birthday this week. It turns out she prefers pie to cake, so I'm going to bring a couple. Tomorrow after work I'll get the apple pie going - the crust dough is made and in the fridge. Another young co-worker admitted to me that she also prefers pie, and today at the dentist, the young girl who cleaned my teeth said the same! Is birthday cake going to become a thing of the past in this next generation? Where did the birthday cake idea begin? Cakes can be decorated so beautifully, and they serve more people, too. Which is why I'm making two pies.
We just had a little ruckus in here - there was an insect flying around and Daisy was after it. I got him in a tissue and when I came back to the laptop, Daisy was on my keyboard. There was another "window" open with a search for the 917 area code. How did she do that? And WHY?
Pies have always been preferred over cakes in our family, going back to the parents of my husband and me both. Our son had pies at his wedding reception instead of wedding cake, but no one else has gone that far. I think I only baked two birthday cakes for my husband during the entirety of our marriage, and one of those was actually before we married and before I even knew how to make a pie.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I did hear of one wedding with all pies, and it seemed a great idea to me. I think that friends of the bride's family were known to be good pie bakers and they all helped out with that.
