I like pie crust more than pie

I'm going to be honest with you, this pie came out tasting mediocre at best. Wohn wohn. However it looked scrumptious and was fun to photograph. This was my second pie after I got the itch by making strawberry rhubarb. I made the crust from scratch and fresh cherries and therein may have been my problem. The box crust tasted better :( and although I love fresh cherries, they did not make this pie work. I still sort of want to try a few more pies, but I need a good idea and a good recipe. Her series definitely inspires me. And makes me hungry.

happy Monday to you

Guess who's in Belize at this very moment? If you guessed me then you're wrong. If you guessed Nick you probably cheated and already knew, but you are also right. Nick is in Belize as part of a financial literacy outreach program for the company he is interning with this summer. The sandy, creole speaking, tropical beaches of Belize, and rather than mope at home I greyhounded it to DC to visit one of my best bfs, (yes I meant to say it that way, and no it's not redundant) Mallory for the week.

I have lots of adventures that I want to share with y'all from the past couple of weeks but I'm going to go out and adventure it up some more first. Those pictures are from my very first gluten free pie, which also happens to have been my very first strawberry rhubarb pie. It was surprisingly delicious. (If you don't understand why it was surprising please reread the sentences about it being my first gluten free strawberry rhubarb pie.) Now all I want to bake are more pies. They first convinced me to make pies, she just reinforced the desire.

What are some other good, but unique summer pies that I should try out?
