I did make us our favorite lemon meringue pie a couple days ago. There is one piece left. We did share with a friend yesterday too.
This juicer is one of my first hand made pottery finds back in the early '70s I have always loved using this. I also used that tool in the back for the lemon peel
I haven't been posting as much so I think I forgot to share a pretty card from Deb, which looks pretty on the mantel
A dear friend messaged me I had a surprise package coming in the mail-Wow this was a total surprise-a bundle of hand dyed fabrics and hand dyed threads. all different sizes and textures of cloth-Loving it. Some of these may find their way into my little sashiko bags that I have not started as of yet.
Thank you so much dear friend. (I didn't get permission yet to share the name of who I am thinking she would rather be incognito-smiles)
I have always enjoyed caramel apples during the fall season, I used to make my own. Now I do enjoy it the "senior way" haha I made up a bowl last night. This is one large apple sliced thin, with sprinkled pecans, and drizzled on top warmed caramel sauce.
Happy Friday and Weekend. I will be making up homemade pizzas tomorrow and inviting the couple over that loved the pizzas I made awhile ago
Your food looks wonderful, as always, and today you have 2 of my BIG faves! Your surprise present is gorgeous, enjoy! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeletethank you so much Valerie
DeleteYes, Deb created beautiful fall cards. I was lucky enough to get one, too. Your pie looks wonderful. Seriously wonderful.
ReplyDeletethank you Elizabeth, Deb's Fall card was beautiful
DeleteI forgot to mention, I have FABRIC ENVY (grin)!
ReplyDeleteHugs-I was really blown away when I opened this up-I have never tried dying threads before-so that was special too
DeleteI dye a lot of my fabrics using Staz-on reinkers. I dye lace, trim, and even flowers that way. That's why I like everything white when I start. I've even dyed a spool of thread using turmeric, but it didn't permeate through the entire spool. I've never been any good at using the dyes that require all those chemicals that require a mask. I may try to dye some threads the next time I get the urge to dye again. I KNOW you will put these fabrics and threads to good use.
Deletethe synthetic dyes I had used on cottons for quilting especially I bought from Dharma online and they were the procion dyes I did really enjoy those but you right you are suppose to wear a mask when measuring out the dye. the mordants used for natural dyes-I used only the safe mordants. dying is a very fun and creative process for sure I miss it sometimes. when I did the eco printed papers I made my own iron mordant for those and I did use a little rite dye in the steaming water that I had seen in a video that really brought out the colors on the papers and that one is a pretty safe dye too.
Deletethese are embroidery threads and looks like the dyer open up the skeins and tied them and dip in the dye.
I am thinking many of these will find their way in the little sashiko bags-hoping to get to those this winter
Hi Kathy. That pie looks soooo good. Perfectly baked. The card is very autumn and so pretty. Ohhh that fabric... drooollll... but not on the fabric. LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL the pie was really good-I ate the last piece tonight Happy weekend
DeleteThat is a lovely card from Deb. And nice hand dyed fabric and threads too. It looks like you'll be having some yummy dessert with that pie. It looks great. Have a great weekend Kathy. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeletethank you Erika-happy weekend hugs
DeleteI really like the lemon pie, it is ideal for a snack, with a rich tea.
ReplyDeleteI agree-sounds perfect
DeleteYour pie looks amazing
ReplyDeletethank you it's an old farm girl recipe I have from one of my Grandma's cookbooks
DeleteI have been kind of out of the loop the past couple of days and see that I have missed a lot of goings on there at the lake. I agree with Bb & E, that pie looks "seriously wonderful." It surely ranks near the top in beauty, and I am sure also in deliciousness. What a gorgeous baking dish you chose for this pie. In fact, I am a bit envious of your beautiful pottery pieces. I love Debs card! I am sure you will have fun with those fun pieces of cloth and threads.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, this was a seriously good pie-always a big hit in it's beauty and flavor I really do love all my pottery pieces very much-working on getting them out and using them more. I am still admiring these pretty dyed fabrics and threads Happy weekend
DeleteThe lemon meringue pie looks outstanding! I love those hand dyed fabrics!!!
ReplyDeletethank you so much
DeleteA delicious looking pie.

DeleteHow I love pie it was always my dad's favorite too. My grandmother on my mother's side always made sure she had pie when we visited.
ReplyDeleteCathy
My Grandma and my Mom always had pie too ready for visitors. My Grandma always made allot of cakes-I never made too many cakes, except for her angle food cake
DeleteHHhhmmm i thought i left you a comment Kathy... sigh.. I guess it didn't go through... Well like so many said that pie is extraordinary!! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteYour pie looks to die for! And what a lovely surprise gift from a friend. Both perfection!
ReplyDeletethis was an excellent pie-the hand dyes are amazing
DeleteI have a street find from the 70´s, electrical - and loads of work! Yours is much better for making juice!
ReplyDeleteBut it´s so stylish, I keep it!
I did a lot of baking yesterday, too.
Yay for pressies!
I still have two old apples.
We think both, Ingo and I, have too much stress.
I baked so much, the apples would have had some space, but I forgot. Shoot.
Hugs to the lake, and to yummy food!
