walking past the garden again and Poppy asks, didn't you just take a picture yesterday...
well, I did and will probably take another one tomorrow. :)
Hey friends. I am starting a post with absolutely nothing interesting to talk about except maybe the weather. According to our weatherman, we have just been through the hottest June, and hottest July on record.
Then August, normally out hottest most humid month, comes in followed by a cold front and we have enjoyed almost a week of wonderful cooler weather with temps in the 60s and 70s.
Smokey has been stretched out on our raggedy old back steps...
Gosh, I didn't realize how badly these steps and screen door need painting. Another job added to my list...the list that keeps growing with very little getting checked off. When I think of all the work, I used to get done around here...
Anyhow, a few weeks ago Poppy said, wonder if there is a recipe for "raspberry pie"?? Well, I found a recipe, tried it...
and we have eaten a raspberry pie a week ever since. It is absolutely delicious, (got to have whipped cream), and wouldn't you think, good for you?? Best of all, easy to make. Here's the recipe...
1 c. sugar, 3 T. cornstarch, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 c. water, 4 c. raspberries, 1 T. butter
Over medium heat stirring constantly, bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Add butter. Cool then pour into baked pie crust. Refrigerate.
I am ashamed to say that I cannot make my own piecrusts. and at my age!! The one in the picture was a little Pillsbury frozen crust. My favorite though is this one...
to unroll and place in my glass pie dish. Looks much better, kind of like a homemade. :( One more thing, Food Lion puts their store brand frozen raspberries on sale 2 for $6.00. One bag makes this pie.
Poppy came in the other day saying I brought you a flower...
awww, well actually, it was stuck to my boot, he said. Have you ever seen such a tiny flower?
Hope you will visit again, if you've made it this far. I do appreciate you all.
I will end this mess with little Miss Violet, trying on a new dress...
Love, Henny
Special note to Darlene...I am so sorry for not seeing your comment sooner. Please see my reply. :)
