When Pies Go Bad

I made two strawberry meringue pies with lemon curd for Mother's Day and things didn't exactly go as planned. When I baked the crusts, they shrunk down into the pie plates and bubbled up really big in the middle. Nice. But after I assembled them, I thought they looked good enough to snap a picture of, so I did:

What I didn't snap a picture of was the next morning when I took them out of the refrigerator and the juice from the strawberries had soaked into the crust! They were a mess. One of them even leaked onto the backseat of our car on the way over to my parents' house. But despite all this, they still tasted pretty good. And my husband (who is not a big fan of pie crust) said that it was the best pie crust he had ever had! Note to self...strawberry juice-soaked pie crust is good!

Sketchbook Peek Saturday

I've been thinking about doing a feature here where I share something from my sketchbook every other week or so. I think it will be fun and hopefully it will also keep me motivated to draw on a more regular basis! Ok, so this isn't exactly from my sketchbook, but here's just a little something I worked on last night:

It's pretty simple and it really didn't take me that long to do. It's for a little project I'm working on. Hope you enjoyed this little "peek", and happy weekend!
