Stayed busy on the 4th, made a "pie" out of a shortbread crust, cream cheese, English custard powder and some lovely organic berries. Also spent some time in the garage, still cleaning. And went to my friend Bonnie's house to help her catalog and photograph some of her beautiful vintage pieces that she plans on selling. I'm also designing her blog and Etsy banner! I'm so privileged! Bonnie is also going to teach me how to water color this winter! She's the amazing gal that taught me how to spray paint my brick wall instead of with a brush...can't wait to show you her stuff. After her house, I stopped at Andy's Frozen Custard and brought some treats home. We ate dinner and dessert in front of the tv watching fireworks. A pretty good day overall...
Sounds like you had a wonderful fourth. I am saving up to have work on my blog be professionally done. What are your rates by the way?
ReplyDeleteoh boy! This looks delicious! I am new to your blog...have you posted the recipe somewhere or are you just leaving us all salivating??
ReplyDeleteRegarding a recipe...well, I just made it up...with what I had.
ReplyDeleteCrust: 1 stick cold butter, 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, vanilla, salt, water. Whir it around in the food processor and press into a pie pan.
Custard: cream cheese (one block), in kitchenaid, mix it up till smooth, ad lemon juice, 3 T. sugar, and I had a packet of Bird's Custard from England that I added, then some milk...
Poured it on baked and cooled crust. Chilled for an hour and added fresh fruit. It looked so cute. And I love shortbread crust!!!
thanks! I love shortbread anything. I will be making this!
