Putts and Pie

This morning I played 9 holes with Jimmy and Tinou. It was a cold day and the course was pretty crappy. On Hole 5, the green didn’t really look much like a green. In fact, it was yellow and patchy. Overall, I had horrible day on the course but my chip shots weren’t too shabby for a change. The boys pulled through despite the yucky conditions and Jimmy managed to squeak ahead of Tinou by one stroke.

In the afternoon, Jes and I attended Ryan and Michelle’s Pie Party.  There were 3 savory pies and a grip of sweet pies.  We actually voted for our favorite and the savory pork pot pie won.  It was pretty good.  My apple pie didn’t win but it was almost gone by the end of the party so I’d say it wasn’t a complete failure.  Here are photos from the party.

Just like in the cartoons…

Michelle and Ryan are hosting a pie party this afternoon so I decided to bake a traditional apple pie. I actually made the crust from scratch and I LOVE the new French rolling pin that I bought last weekend. Next came the apple filling, which was covered with the top crust and a sprinkling of cinammon and sugar, and then I “put it in the oven for baby and me”. (Haha – that’s a line from “Patty Cake” in case you didn’t know.)

When it came out, it was golden brown and still bubbling inside. In fact, as I was admiring my creation, I noticed that there were little spirals of steam coming out of the vents I cut and thought, “Wow! It’s just like in the cartoons!” All I needed was an open window sill for Tom and Jerry to steal it. So, the final test is this afternoon when I cut it open and serve it to my friends. I also made my Mommy’s Famous Cheesecake as back-up but hopefully they’ll both be winners.
