"The Most Delicious Fruit Sorbet in the World"

Today we have a guest, my son Ben, who you know, dear Readers, as the star of Ants on a Log. I am acting as his scribe: "First I weighed 400 g of frozen strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. Then I put them into a food processor and blended them for a little bit. Then I added two handfuls of sugar and blended a little bit longer. Then I realized that it was just dark so I added a spoonful of vanilla yoghurt and then blended it again until it was all mixed together. Then I put it into a container, tasted it and put it into the freezer."

two pies

Emboldened by the simplicity of PMC's pie crust, I made two pies this week. One was filled with sautéed mushrooms and leftover boeuf bourguignon. The other was filled with huge apple chunks and a 1/2 c sugar. Both were assembled (quickly) in a pre-heated (ouch, ouch) cast-iron pan (yes, my old faithful). Both were baked for about an hour at about 400 F. Both came out great! Who knew? Pie baking is not rocket science.
