Why I like vacations

[philena]

It isn't so much the chance to travel and see alligators, although that is, I admit, very nice. It isn't so much the opportunity to travel and see family, although I like them too. It's the chance to relax on the couch and read--gobble, actually--the two newest Juliet Marillier books with a cup of tea, and go to the UC botanical gardens with Mr. Philena, and make pie. I like making pie, especially with lattices. I think my next purchase might one of those pastry wheels to make the latticework more interesting than how it turns out when I'm using a knife or a second-hand pizza wheel. Although, to be fair to myself, it did turn out pretty well. See*?



Pie and me


Pie by itself


Same pie, but with a better view of the lattice


Good night. We are now off to eat pie.





*Oh, yes, note how I am uploading pictures again? We have bought a new camera! It seems to work! Hurrah!

Your lattice work is very pretty, and the pie very delicious looking. I am now off to go and find a snack!
