Blueberry Pie

Week 2

I was feeling like berries and went with the easiest kind to find frozen, Blueberries!!

Using simply recipes http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/blueberry_pie/

and a Martha Stuart pie crust recipe (though I dont have a food processor).


I think it turned out fine.  It will be given to some friends or brought into the office tomorrow.



My dough was way better than last weeks.  Very much a dough like texture, instead of being very buttery.  We shall see how it tastes. There was enough dough to add the lattice work.


All while watching "To Wong Foo" and "Practical Magic" interchangably.




Tada!













Also,the stuff on the bottom of the oven was burning and filling my apartment with smoke.  When I ran into the kitchen and opened the door to see what was on fire, my hand hit the door. Argh. Now my apartment is full of smokey smells and my hand is damaged. Ouchies!
