Summer Pie Time

For about a year and a half Rich has been welcoming the new seasons by baking pies with the produce that comes into the market. I've been mostly eating the pies and giving a thumbs up. Here's Rich's second-to-most recent pie, which was strawberry rhubarb (my favorite).

This past weekend we went on a pilgrammage with some friends to Swanton Berry Farms U-pick fields between Santa Cruz and Pescadero. The ollalieberry season was just starting, and the strawberries were in full swing. Rich comprimised his all-ollallieberry pie dreams because they weren't sweet enough and baked a strawberry-ollallieberry pie which may have been his best pie ever. However, it was a pie for eating, not photographing.

Here's Rich and friends with our haul at the berry farm.
