you, me and pie makes three

hi, happy late monday/early tuesday.

+++

i've so been loving summer kinds of food this past while.
on the weekend i made three small strawberry & rhubarb pies.
i covered then in egg wash and coarse sugar.
and i cut small shapes from their crusts.
they weren't the cutest pies ever.
but tasty just the same.


once out of the oven & cooled just slightly
i packed them up & j and i
took them to tom's dairy freeze for a soft serve topper.
it was perfect.
warm pie, cold creamy ice cream, plastic spoons.
yum. such fun.



tonight after work, the other j (the apple girl)
dropped by with craft burgers & cherry pop. (a welcome surprise)
also, yum. we chattered about our days, and about boys.
and she was on her way. it was great.



afterward i went to airport
i picked up one of my oldest & most cherished friends, s.
she's come here for a mini vacation
and is staying with me a while.
hooray!
at this moment,
we're sipping bubbly drinks
& eating peanut m&m's.

it's pretty darn good.
i've really missed her.
i'm feeling pretty happy for summer,
for friends
and for the small joys of life these days.

xox, n.
