"Rhubarb was one of my father's favorite pies. Clean saucers were produced for the pie, and as the knife slide through the tender crust and loosed the juice which ran like liquid rose quartz, our lips involuntarily moistened with the dew of expectancy and our eyes narrowed to the charm of color and form. For, after all, what more pleasurable shape or pattern can meet the eye than that of a generous wedge of luscious, ambrosial pie?" Della Lutes, The Country Kitchen (Little, Brown, 1938)  

 

It's fresh blueberry season and in addition to making sweet blueberry treats, we're also making our savory summer blueberry salad. We start with a bed of red leaf lettuce and add red onions, mandarin oranges, chopped walnuts, grated white cheddar cheese and top it with a drizzle our homemade balsamic vinegrette dressing. Grilled french bread with our homemade cheese ball accompanies the salad. YUM!

Friends (and bloggers) Angie, Joelle, and Marsha visited the store recently and took lots of pictures of the shop, our yummy treats, and then went back to Ohio and wrote about their visit on Angie's blog.
