Rhubarb and other reasons

I've been a bit lax in my posting lately, sometimes skipping a day, others just putting the minimum amount of effort into it. I thought I'd explain the reason for this to you today...

...it's rhubarb! Well, not just rhubarb, but apples, strawberries, and other wonderful from-the-garden stuffs.

You may know that my wife is a baker. I've mentioned it in passing a few times, and directly when talking about compost piles and how much of a single item they could handle.

For the past couple of years she's been working at a pie shop -- a small bakery that specializes in pies. Well recently she's transitioned from baking at that shop to running it. As of a little over a month ago she owns it!

That means that I've had a lot more experience lately with turning fruits and other things that were once growing into ingredients.

When your wife owns a pie shop you get fat help out in that pie shop, so my early morning garden photo/post writing time is now spent cooking up chocolate cream, peeling apples, making supply runs and various other supporting tasks. It's fun!


I'm trying to buffer up a few days worth of posts, but when the weather gets in the way it's sometimes not possible.

So remember on those days when my posts are missing, or late, or just looking a bit thin that there is a very delicious reason for it.

Please come visit the shop if you're in the St. Louis area! Pie Oh My, 2719 Sutton Blvd, Maplewood MO 63143.

(Note that none of the edibles in these photos came from my own garden darn it.)
