Happy 4th of July to the Americans reading, happy Thursday to anyone else. (I guess there might be a few readers from Canada? Happy belated Canada Day to you. Does anyone read from anywhere else?)
The topic of holiday desserts came up in a recent chat with friends, one of whom has to bring something to a 4th of July event, and I remembered that I had made a stars-and-stripes pie one year. I checked the blog, because of course I did, and yes, I wrote about it! Good girl, ccr, who needs a memory when you have a blog.

I'm reading from Canada. I think our Canada Day celebrations (July 1st) are fairly paltry in comparison to the US. Not that we're not patriotic and proud but it's just...not a big deal. Though people seem to be decorating more and more elaborately!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th!
Some Americans really go all-out for the holiday, some don't. This year especially, I'm not feeling it. But it was nice to have the day off, and I watched our local fireworks for a little bit. Happily, they're close enough to see but not loud enough to wake me up!
DeleteIf I had people coming over for the 4th I would make blueberry/strawberry shortcake which ends up being red, white and blue and is refreshing when it's hot. I'm not so great with pies.
ReplyDeleteI have made very few pies myself, which is probably why I'm bragging about this one from years ago! Yours sounds delicious on a hot day.
DeleteBeautiful pie! I'd eat a slice or two of cherry, and you may have all the blueberry starry slices for yourself.
ReplyDeleteAnd kudos to you for making your own pies. I can count on one hand the number of pies I've made myself (unless you count savoury pies) since we have a terrific pie shop in the area. They do dozens of varieties far better than I ever could, including a lemon raspberry that is downright orgasmic.
Oh, that sounds delicious! There's a pie shop about an hour from me that I've heard wonderful things about, I keep meaning to try it.
DeleteElisabeth and I are waving from Canada!
ReplyDeleteHello, eh!
DeleteThat is/was a really cool pie!
ReplyDeleteI love that pie! What a cool concept. And what are our blogs for if not for digging through archives to find old pictures, haha.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea how handy I would find blogging for that!
