As American as Apple Pie

Pie crust was my main motivator for taking the Pie class. I’ve tried and tried and even had private lessons with my mother. It all came together in this class. I think one secret was to grate the butter and then chill it. For the record, I love fruit. Berries are the best. But once it is cooked all of the magic disapears.
For Paul there is nothing better than apple pie. For this pie I used Chai spices for the topping.

Quite Chilly.
Sitting outside on the patio of Hotel Bellwether watching the sunrise.
The coffee shop is closed and they didn’t disclose their operating hours. A man with a camera drives up and complains his missed the sunrise. Saw it with his eyes and not his camera.
We left Portland at around 10:30 am. Pulled over in Chehallis for lunch which was half a sandwich and half of an Icelandic danish-like pastry. Seattle stop for Coffee at Cupcake Royale. Location was 10/10 cupcakes only 6/10.

It was really nice to get away for the weekend.
