Sometimes I scare myself.

torquillPie crust from scratch, made with butter, baked until golden brown.
Absolutely perfectly-ripe luscious strawberries, shining with a touch of sugar glaze.
Real whipped cream, sweetened, with just a hint of vanilla.
I was driving home and saw the Baker's Square banner advertising "fresh strawberry pies". I miss those, from my days of Denny's and Baker's Square, and when you can't eat the crust they just aren't quite the same. I was three blocks from the Farmer's Market, so I stopped by to drop $4 on three baskets of berries. When I did my video run, I picked up some heavy whipping cream. (It amuses me that it never even occurred to me to pick up one of the cans of Reddi-Whip etc.) And pie crust is always quicker to put together than I think it is.
The tart is in the fridge now, chilling. Mmmmmmmmm.
And I have the last of the whipped cream and the few strawberries that didn't make it into the pie. I think this is going to be a good evening... :)
