Last night, as we were eating the last of a strawberry pie a neighbor brought us on Thursday, we got a text from our nextdoor neighbor that she had something for us. Still warm from her oven, she delivered this fresh-baked Lemon Custard Pie!
I immediately wrote her a thank you note with this photo of fruit from a tree in their front yard. (No, I don't know the name, but it was apple/pear like) I always save photos of written correspondence so I have a record, like email, but I was amazed at what I saw when I looked at the picture!
I've just had a slice of pie and coffee for lunch, and, Yes!, Kristen can cook! Delicious!
@pyrrhula Funny how things work out sometimes! I was going to make one of my "food arrangements" this morning, so this was just a quick shot for my own record. When I saw it, I liked it also...and commenced eating the pie this morning! Thanks for your note : )
I like what you did here Louise. I sat and looked at this and tried to figure out if it was a picture or an actual sprout of strawberries (they are strawberries, right?)
@digitalrn Not strawberries, and it's one of my photos on a flat card (?!) It's some sort of Asian fruit tree and they were crisp but a rather bland flavor. I loved them most for their beauty and the photo op!
Trompe l’oeil at its best! If you didn’t point out I would have believed they were there, right aside the dish! A spectacular threedimensionality in that photo: double fav!
@louannwarren Until you said it, even I didn't notice...but I see it now : ) Nick, next door, probably planted too many trees; they won't have much room to spread. He did put in interesting varieties, so they make for a varied pictures!
@redy4et I told Ken that I look through recipes and see things I'd like to bake, but the sweet treats keep arriving, and I don't want too much overload in the house! (Take that any way you wish!)
