| The successful pie |
Over the past month, 7 year old R has been enjoying reading the many books featuring
Amelia Bedelia. If you don't know about Amelia Bedelia ... Amelia Bedelia is a maid who consistently frustrates her employers by misunderstanding various figures of speech (for example, when asked to 'pitch' the tent, Amelia Bedelia throws the tent away or when asked to 'stake' the bean plants, Amelia Bedelia ties pieces of steak to the plants). In the end, Amelia Bedelia always wins people over with her amazing baking skills. At the end of one of the books was a recipe for Amelia Bedelia's Apple Pie. So, of course, we just had to make it. I was extremely skeptical about our (read: my) ability to make a pie from scratch, crust and all. However the pie turned out looking, smelling and tasting simply delicious. Today, we're back in the school room, hitting the books (no, Amelia Bedelia, not
smacking the books,
reading the books!) and snacking on the fruits of our labour.
