We were invited to a board game party at Daphne and Joel's last Saturday. Time got away from me and my intention to bake a pie came to naught. I did pick up a razzleberry pie at Wilson Farm. The maker goes unremarked, I am not a huge berry fan, and this pie was a bit heavy. I played some Perquackey and Settlers of Catan.
Sue and Jeff's Christmas gift for me was Stephanie Anderson's "Killer Pies, Delicious Recipes from North America's Favorite Restaurants". Three of the recipes in the North East chapter come from establishments known to me: Petsi Pies (featured in this entry), Verrill Farm (mentioned here), and the Famous Dutch Kitchen Restaurant, an hour's drive east of Harrisburg on I81. We have passed by this restaurant on almost every trip back to visit my family, but they don't have much to offer vegetarians; we have not stopped there recently. A couple of recipes in the book feature plums, that may be the next pie I attempt. There are a lot of good looking pies here, and a lot of restaurants to visit. And yes, one recipe includes spicy green chiles.
In other pie news, Karen and I caught the movie "Waitress" on NetFlix. A pleasant pie-themed date movie. The movie's tag line serves as our entry title.
In an unrelated bit of catch-up randomness, the BUDA 2007 season t-shirt images are posted.
