I seem to be manically baking and have gone through a pound and a half of I salted butter, 3 pounds of peaches, 3 pounds of cherries and 2 pounds of blueberries, and 6 bananas.
This is what I made today.
I still have 2 pounds of blueberries and 6 pounds of cherries ~ yup I am going to bake more! I love my vacation!
Secret to good baking is fresh ingredients, good music, a joyful heart, and of course lots of butter!
Baking playlist
Frank Sinatra (Peach pie and cherry pie)
Crosby Stills Nash & Young (sings to my inner granola hippie person and I made the banana bread to that)
Cindy Lauper (peach & pear torte)
Yo Yo Ma violin (blueberry pie). Yup I have pretty eclectic taste in music. Just waiting to see what Skrillex makes me bake ;)
PS - we didn't eat dinner tonight we had goodies

Dammit, hands off, I'm on my way over..
When I finally make it over to your side of the world I hope you still have you music going and your baking bug is biting!!
I was going to bake scones today but didn't have enough flour in the house and couldn't be bothered going to the shops .. lazy weekend :)
Now you've given me a hankering for some pie .. might have to shop tomorrow :D
The torte is gone, there is still a slice of peach & cherry, the blueberry pie in still whole for the moment.
Brenda ~ believe it or not I ran out of flour yesterday and it wasn't until late afternoon that I decided to go get more! Still have the bug, can can feel it turning more to the savoury side now hmmmm paella perhaps.
Dar,
I approve of this break in your normal routine and the sharing of your wild side. I'm really hoping you bought 2 bags of flour.
I have A.D.D., I think...I heard butter and I could no longer focus!! I had the best pie yesterday at a little bakery in Marble Falls, Texas. The coconut cream was yummy but it was the BUTTERY CRUST that won my heart! Real salted butter...oh my...Savory pies?? Oh yes!! I might be inspired to unpack some more kitchen gear over the weekend!!
Dammit, I still want pie but I hate baking them because we eat the whole damn thing.
Everything looks delish Dar!!
MMMM!!! my vacation has been summoning the pie gods too! lol ... ;) yumm Dar!!! those look fabulous!
Yum! I'll be right over! hahaha
Actually, I have 3 lbs of blueberries (from the store) and a gynormous amount of hand-picked blackberries that I have to process today. I think today is pie and jam-making day, in addition to cleaning.
Happiness truly is summer bounty!
Looking good.....:-). I am NOT a baker by any stretch of the imagination, but I am a mean cook/chef by past profession. And those look amazing!
Now, you're getting evil posting those pictures. Need to get that transporter thing working to beam your pies through the Internet. I wonder if Google is working on that?
