Cherry Pie

I'm being domesticated. The deal was that my friend gave me a huge bag of fresh cherries, and I learn how to bake a cherry pie. I was up for the challenge.

It has been awhile since I've really cooked or baked. There was a certain satisfacation in preparing this pie knowing that my friend picked these cherries straight from his tree. It took me exactly the length of Jay Leno's Late Night Show to finish pitting 6 cups of cherries, a lot shorter than I thought it would take. All this prep work made the pie all the more special.

I'm more of a cake person than a pie person, but I admit pie a la mode ranks high in delicious food to eat. I'm ready for the next challenge.
