Eighth of an Acre Bounty

Despite my promise to post more frequently I’ve failed. You see, I’ve been busy making pie. In fact, the whole household got wrapped up in the pie making for a day or two. You can see Gary’s documentation and newly developed (soon to be patented) pie holder for all this pie here. These pies above are all rhubarb-blackberry pies, made for my cousin’s graduation party from our own backyard rhubarb and blackberries that we picked last fall. Gary was charged with delivery of the pies (since I was going to be at my permaculture class and arriving late to the party) and took his job very seriously.

Eleven pies in total were made, in addition to an asparagus, provolone and egg tart for the permaculture class. (God, the food we eat every class! It has evolved into a full blown potluck each day and I can’t even fully convey the deliciousness that is laid out on the table each morning. There is something to having a potluck with a bunch of gardeners I tell ya). I spent most of Friday cooking, and Gary spent the day making pie racks – what a team, eh?
