Yes! Pillsbury all the way . Really, it's a good crust. But, not as light and flaky as Grammy's. I have to admit, I am a tart cherry snob. I've tried many brands and, hands down, this brand is my favorite: Cherries are whole and I can't remember ever finding a pit. Now, if I could buy fresh tart cherries, I would do that, but I can't so this has to do. My Dr. Lecter and Newman wanted to say "Hi" and be in the picture

I'm sure you guys scroll through all the lovely confections on these threads and then you hit my post and think "Hmmmmm.....and she posted this boring picture, why?" I wanted a cherry pie yesterday. I used store bought crust (of course lol). It hit the spot.....not as good as my Grammy's pies were, but it'll do.

Jo--LOL on the smoke alarms. May I ask where you got your pork? If it's online, I might have to copy you and get some. I for sure can't find it around here. ThanksfortheCrepes--I've got some spinach growing in the garden. If the bunnies don't eat it (sigh) I'll definitely be trying your salad recipe. Patrick--I'd definitely have loved spending time on your terrace with all of that wonderful food and drink! And, because I can't say it enough. Rachel, please stop by more often. I miss your posts!!! Messy plate but it tasted good. Asparagus is really going bonkers in the garden. Eggs from down the road, boudin, asparagus, hollandaise (that didn't thicken like it should have. I'm so hit and miss on that stuff). A mini pizza. Husband had meetings and I was feeling hungry. I usually take the night off cooking when he's not home....I don't know what came over me lol. Venison tacos My husband went fishing in the river at our house yesterday morning. I thought about joining him, but I didn't. It's been raining a lot (not complaining we need it) and it's super muddy. He brought home a couple nice catfish so I fried 'em up along with some mushrooms. Garden asparagus, mac and cheese and homemade tarter sauce rounded it out. I hope everyone has a great week!

I'm glad you're home safe and sound Thanks for all the pictures and the report! Very enjoyable.

You're killing me. *drooling*

Look at that beautiful water! Are you still there or are you home now? I wish I had your breakfast sitting in front of me.

Nice find, Smithy!!! I hope you loaded up!

Me too. I have some decent shrimp frozen. What sauce did you put on yours, Smithy? It looks like a bit of asparagus was in there too?

I buy yeast from Sam's--big bag. I keep it in the fridge. No problems

I, too, am so glad to see you Rachel. I miss your wonderful posts around here!

Not long winded at all! I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks for posting.

Hmmmmmm.........trying to decide which is chocolate...... I'm going with the big square one.

Some of those chocolates are works of art, I tell ya. Gorgeous. The plane food looks pretty good. Even the mixed nuts look better--we always get stale pretzels. A total stranger seriously wanted you to pay for her lunch????

It's beautiful!!!!! Ya did good!!!!

I'm in safe travels!!!!

That looks amazing. Do I spy a hushpuppy up there?

I have no advice to offer but I think it's so nice that you're doing this, Rob. I'm sure you're giving this person a memory that he will never forget.

That hot beef sandwich looks good! I always enjoy traveling with you guys

Hi Smithy! Nothing much beats a good chocolate chip cookie. Around here that guy would be in some serious trouble if he was using his cast net to catch sport fish to eat. You did a great job capturing that shot! My husband has used a cast net for years and years to catch bait fish (shad is what we like to use). After getting some in the cast net, they go immediately into an aerated bait tank. Shad are super sensitive and hard to keep alive. We then use the bait fish (shad) to catch the sport fish (such as striped bass etc.). It takes a while to get the hang of throwing it. Hubby is dang good at it. Me...not so much. I try at times with a smaller version of his. It's very hard not to throw myself into the water with the net LOL. The big one is really heavy. Plus, we're throwing it out of the boat, normally, so that doesn't give you much leverage. We also used the cast net a few times to grab some crawdads.....that doesn't work so well and it's super hard to get them untangled from the net. And that's probably much more than you ever wanted to know about cast nets LOL.

Peas are up, spinach is up, collards are up, onions are up. No lettuce or brussels sprouts. Sigh. Was going to plant some more stuff this morning, but we got over an inch of rain last night and it's too muddy.

No, but there is maple syrup drizzled on the bottom of the pan with some cinnamon. Don't tell anyone.....that's my secret ingredient

Everything looks lovely, Kim. I'll take a bite or...piece of each. I'm now craving strawberries. I won the March Madness bracket contest at work (I've played for 20 years lol it's about time) so I made everyone cinnamon rolls.

Kim! Pedestrian??? No way! I get a lot of inspiration from your meals! Looooooong day yesterday. I dug up our septic tank all by myself (don't ask) and today my back is not happy. So, I wanted my favorite for dinner. Spaghetti and venison meatballs over spinach and the first asparagus from the garden.

I'm so sorry to hear this.

Smithy, I just love following your camping adventures. Makes me almost wish we still had our RV. Almost lol. You are a far more tolerant person than I.....although now -a -days since I don't have to work, and I know I can sleep mostly as late or nap when I want to maybe I'd be different. That bass thump would have driven me crazy back in our camping days. I'm sure the look of relief was due to her knowing how loud and late they stay up! Hopefully your generator drowned out most of it. Pig tails!!! Yes! Always reminds me of the Little House on the Prairie books. They roasted the tails. Then Mary and Laura played with the pig bladder that Pa blew up for them like a balloon. That pico looks wonderful. Has me drooling for garden tomatoes. Hopefully only about 4 more months until those. Are you returning home soon? Well, I mean to your home that doesn't have wheels....
