It's Saturday morning and Pam is making her famous home-made pastry for her yummy apple pie. What is it about apple pie that just says "family"? Cinnamon, lemon, sugar and hand-rolled pastry with love. Nothing store-bought.It's the food version of one of her quilts or a sweater she's knitting. No two are the same. Each ingredient chosen carefully.
Tonight is the next game in the Stanley Cup finals and we are having friends over to help us cheer for the Vancouver Canucks. Dinner is planned. Wine is ready. But there's something about an apple pie that puts a cap on the meal.
It says more than any meal I could make, "you are family and we love having you in our home".
Well between the friends you invited over, the 'home' pie and my not watching (I jinx them) - the Canucks won!!!
