Dallas Dream of Cherry Pie!

Image
 Happy Valentines Day! This week I needed a pie that was more or less red in the middle for Valentines. I have never made a cherry pie because cherries are not in season yet, but I decided this was the week for cherry. I had to buy frozen cherries from Wegmans.  The pie turned out ok, I was hoping my hearts on top would look nicer, but I guess I'm not much of an artist.   This pie was tasty, the crust turned out nice.  I think I would have been better had I used tart cherries like most recipes suggest, but I only had  sweet dark ones frozen.  It was still pretty good though.

Dallas Dreams of Chilled Grapefruit Meringue Pie

Image
Again I tried to do something more unique, and I don't think this one turned out super great.  I mean, it was okay. It was sweet and creamy, but it just didn't live up to the vision inside my head. The meringue on top did not work.  I guess I don't know how to make them since my lemon meringue pie was also a flop.  It was just a gooey mess stuck to the top.   And then there wasn't a very strong grapefruit flavor. This was definitely my own fault because I couldn't get any grapefruits to zest (meaning there were no quality grapefruits at the store), so I used oranges instead.  I did use grapefruit juice in the curd in the middle, but it was still not very strong.

You can see they are a little more black than I would like.  In addition to the pie not working the way I thought, it was also the most difficu...

Book Review: The Name of the Wind

 I finished reading "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss. This is not typically the type of book I enjoy reading, and I kind of started reading it on a whim, without really knowing a lot of about it and it turned out that I really enjoying the read.  It is a fantasy book, set in a fantasy place, but I felt like it like it wan't TOO fantasy-esque.  Like there is magic, but they don't call it magic, and they treat it more like a science.  The  main character goes to college to learn about it.  But in addition to learning about magical things, they also take classes like logic, and medicine, among other stuff.  I don't know exactly what it is I liked about this hero adventure, perhaps it was the main character, or the world it is set in. I read it pretty quick because I was interested in what was happening. Unfortunately it is a series and the story stops very suddenly at the end.  I will probably even read the next one at some point.  In ...
