Pie 911


I'm at my knitting guild meeting last night, and my cell rings.
the Man: "are you out of there yet?"
me: "in a few minutes"
the Man: (serious voice) "I need to talk to you about something." Hangs up.
I'm freaking out a little. I think:
1. Piccolo's sick. She threw up in the morning, and hasn't been eating that well.
2. There's been a fire at the building caused by the smokers upstairs.
3. He's formulated a plan to move somewhere warm, and is leaving.
I call his cell, and no answer. Freak out is ramped up a little.
The Man calls. He needs a frozen pie bought, and baked. I tell him to get the oven on. We've been having a back and forth discussion regarding the merits of a frozen pie. I can make pies. I use Martha Stewart's all butter pie crust recipe, and it's good. I prefer a Baker's Square pie to a frozen thing from the grocery store. I have to bring a dessert for tomorrow. The Man thinks a frozen pie would be good (got a buy one, get one free deal last night), but that's not happening. Last year's last minute pie source, Taste of Heaven bakery, is not taking any more orders, and will not have any extras. So, I'm off to hunt for a dessert of some sort.
This is a Rosebud that I finished a few months ago, but didn't get around to posting on the blog, though it's been on Ravelry for a while. I have Sonoma to make another, which I may do in December!
