Plum Hand Pies It’s been a while since I brought something sweet to this table. It’s summertime and many of my favorite stone fruits are ripe and ready for the picking.

Summer of Pie. You must think I’m crazy. Nine pictures of Savory Pie in the middle of summer. Well, how do you think I feel, baking and eating nothing but warm from the oven Savory Pie all summer long? These nine pics are just nine of seventy-eight photos I did. That’s 78 pies I have…

Does that mean no peach pies this time of year? It doesn’t have to. Have you considered a dried peach pie? Dried peaches are something I buy…

Summer is a very hard time of year for me. You see I’m an addict. In fact I’m a relentlessly unreformed addict. There’s no 12 step program powerful enough to ultimately stop me from my obsession. In that regard I’m hopeless. In my defense however, I will say that I’m an addict with boundaries. An…
