It's Monday, and I made a pie!


Good morning! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I have to admit that I did not do a ton of reading this past week. However, I am proud to announce that I made my first pie from scratch this weekend (made the dough and everything!). My husband's family came over on Sunday afternoon and I decided to be a bit of a risk taker. Without tasting it, I served up that apple pie to the family. Thankfully, it was yummy (although I could probably work on the presentation next time). What do you think? Are any of you amazing bakers? What kind of pie should I try to tackle next?



Anyway, about the books...

This past week, I read:


The Submission

Here is what I posted this past week:

  1. Pies are hard. Congrats on the success! For a while my dad and I would pick apples each weekend and make a pie. They never turned out, but were still fun to eat. I need to go pick apples.

    I love the cover on Exit the Actress. Looking forward to seeing how you like it.

  3. Great job on the pie...that is one thing I have not yet attempted - making a pie from scratch!

    I love the Rizzoli and Isles tv series and want to start reading the series.

    Stop by my It's Monday post if you get a chance.

  4. I was having lots of trouble settling into a book, but now I am reading Jasper Fforde's, The Big over Easy and I am really getting into it.
