~ ~ THE PIE MARATHON ~ ~

HAPPY 1st DAY OF MAY...
This is a looong post with lots of photos....
of PIE....YUM
♥
Thanks so much to all who came by to wish our girl, 

STACY LEIGH,

a HAPPY BIRTHDAY. ♥ ♥ ♥

She was kidnapped by that pretty one up there and met up with 2 more friends

for an awesome weekend in FREDERICKSBURG, TX.

P.S. Stacy has the bluest eyes you've even seen...
and with some colors of her clothing,
they take on a turquoise color....just beautiful.

We had a family gathering to celebrate her birthday on THE DAY.....4/29
and she requested PIES instead of cake...

FIRST CAME 
STRAWBERRY 

...the strawberries are sooo juicy and sweet right now...
just perfect for a
BERRY-PICKIN' PIE
 ♥

 This one went right into the fridge until time for the party.
Then EXTRA CREAMY WHIPPED CREAM
went on top....

Mr. Sweet and I brought some of the pie home, so I was
able to show you how pretty this pie was, wearing it's sweet, delicious, billowy WHIPPED CREAM.

YUM...
Red and White has ALways been a great color combo....

 NEXT CAME 
THE CHERRY

Lattice has always given me grief...

   never can make it look really pretty but it always tastes good.

I think there's such a thing as a
lattice cutter to use on your crust.

I add butter, sprinkling of sugar and CINNAMON on top of the crust before
sliding this delight into the oven....
and I could just nearly eat the whole pie..

The little Blue Pie Bird that lets the steam escape from a crusted pie
wasn't really needed with the lattice but...
it's so CUTE...and I wanted CUTE for Stacy.

NEXT CAME THE
COCONUT PIE

Now I've had a Coconut Pie recipe that I've used for over 50 years...
my sweet mother in law gave it to me and it is OUT OF THIS WORLD good.

HOWEVER, that frisky little sassy NANA DIANA has been bragging about HER
Coconut Pie
so I said, "Oh, Diana....BRING IT ON..."
*

 her recipe called for part milk and part HALF and HALF...
WELL...
at this point, I was tryin' HARD to make MINE better than HERS...
SOOO..

 I used milk and WHIPPING CREAM...
 

I KNOW....

it looks just like CORN...

but, it's not...

it's COCONUT..... 

O, MY GOSH...
I can't even tell you how delicious this pie is....

Once we started having fun at the party, I didn't get a photo 
of it, all dressed in that luscious whipped cream....

I left the pies for Stacy and her crew...
and happened to think of my little blog helper,
DEEDS...
so I called, said "if there's any   Coconut pie left, would you
take a pic and send it to me so I can add it to my post?"

"Of COURSE, Memaw...and you are lucky...this is the very last piece."
She even made a STAR out of the whipped cream.
"awww, thanks, Deeds"

 
"you did an EXCELLENT job...."

You can go to NANA DIANA'S BLOG
for this great recipe.
If she gets TOO sassy about sharing it with you,
tell her bj said "we know how to do a search in your little white box, next to the B in the left top of your blog......
 'cause YOU are the one that told me about it..."
tee hee....
I'm tellin' ya'll.....
LIFE IS INDEED AWESOME...! ! 
XOXO/bj
