On Friday it was art crawl, and also a pie competition in celebration of Roisin's birthday. Amazing! I made a banana cream pie and Erick made an apple pie. It was his first (and according to him, his last) pie ever, and it was pretty delish!
10 pies were submitted in total, and there were 10 winners! Yeah, all the pies were pretty amazing. They smelled and tasted so good. Those are Ted's gourmet pies that Liz is sniffing. The tall one was duck, brandied pears, and caramelized onions, and the one beside it contained roasted golden beets, sour apples, caramelized onions, and smoked ham hocks in cheddar mornay sauce. That one was my absolute favourite. It was to die for! Roisin, you're one lucky gal.
There were 2 apple pies, a pumpkin pie, Gary's poutine pie, a deep dish pizza pie, a chocolate cream pie, and a number of other delicious pastry wrapped desserts. Everyone who contributed brought home a pound of Stirling butter, which is considered one of the top 30 butters in the world! Fact.
That was the exciting part of my weekend. The remaining days were spent inside embroidering and knitting non stop, and watching movies/shows on Netflix, or listening to podcasts. I left the house 3 times: once to drop Erick off at work, once to pick him up, and once to go for a walk in the lovely windy weather.Now back to knitting and Manhattan.
