No pie for you if you vote McCain.  Art’s already voted because he’s working at the polls on Tuesday.  I’ve got my pencil sharpened and ready.  Hey — Barack — how about a vote in Congress for your loyal DC voters?  (knocking on wood…)

I Made a Pie!, originally uploaded by CarlenLea.

My first sour cherry pie of the summer! I love how the crust turned out. The trick is basting it with heavy cream before it goes in the oven. No, I’m serious — you cover it with a thin layer of whipping cream. I learned that from Martha Stewart!

I don’t think you can see it in the picture, but the air vent is the stem for two pie crust cherries. I think that’s super Martha!

The pie tasted good too, but Art says I need to practice more. ;)
