The Flood & A Cherry Pie

April 5th, 2008

It had been raining non-stop at the end of last week and one of the nearby rivers flooded several feet over! I guess the flooding was so crazy that even schools were closed (via Ashley). Here's a river in my town:

The River Cometh!

On a happier note, I baked a very delish cherry pie, which is my favorite kind! It looks very pretty doesn't it? Thank god for Pillsbury roll-out pie crusts or it would have probably looked terrible. :P It only took me about five or so minutes to actually prepare the pie for the oven, so that's a plus!

Cherry Pie!

I love that pie plate too. It's made of heavy ceramic in red and beige. I bought it at Kohl's but I think it was made by Food Network. They had a lot of matching bakeware to go with it so I may have to go back soon!

Wow!!! Some rivers have flooded here as well but I don’t understand because the rainfall in my area wasn’t that bad.

Oooooo pretty pie!! I’m sure it’s been devoured by now! :D And yeah the flooding was INSANE!

That pie looks good, but as someone who has never been through flooding, I have to wonder: how can you bake when you’re getting flooded?!? :P

Melissa Apr 06, 2008

That pie looks delicious!! Can I have some?

*hands Nanda a virtual slice*

I’m sure it’s been devoured by now!

I actually have half left…want some? XD

How can you bake when you’re getting flooded?!?

Haha! Well, it was really only that river that had overflowed. As far as I know it didn’t get majorly crazy enough to wipe out any houses.

And I’ll be honest…I had actually baked that pie a few days earlier but just never posted the photo until now. :3

Oh wow… what a flood!! I hope there wasn’t too much damages to the homes and buildings there.
Your pie looks great. Now I think I will have to go out and buy some apple pie. *sigh* my oh mee…

Wow! Your website is like a big girl website now! It really seems much bigger with all the new features than it did a moment ago.

My website might go down in a few days. IF it does, I might change my domain name, or keep it. Either way, I’ll let you know! lol I’m backing up my database right now too. ^_^

Melissa Apr 07, 2008

…a big girl website now!

Lol! w00t. :) Yes, definitely tell me if you change your domain!

Lisa Apr 08, 2008

Sarai Apr 08, 2008

That pie looks amazing! Makes me wish I could bake.

Melissa Apr 09, 2008

So are we going to visit you in summer times?

If you reeeallly want to visit me you’ll have to tell me dates and munnies. Because I would love for you and/or Amy to come chill wif me before you move but I can’t plan it all on my own. :P

That pie looks amazing! Makes me wish I could bake.

Woot! :D But no worries, I can’t bake either. That’s why I looooved discovering those roll-on crusts. :goodie: Just roll one, add filling, roll second and bake! Voila, Betty Crocker bragging-rights! :cheer:
