Happy my birthday!

Behold the pie!

Many thanks to my wife for baking it for me on this, my 67th birthday. Or is it my 68th? Not that I'm unsure how old I've become, but just in consideration of the fact that on my day of birth I was zero years old, so we're actually counting in the "binary system" here.
And here's my birthday piece (before and after ice cream added):

And the pie again, awaiting further celebration:

    Looks like a bigger piece that way, doesn't it? Too big, in fact. This pie, made with sour cherry filling from the King Arthur Flour website, is so filling that I'm going to cut a smaller slice next time.

  2. I already got my birthday gift—your and Matt's visiting us. I only regret not taking similar photos of the strawberry-rhubarb pie (and the crumble) that your mother baked for Matt (and for all of us). I was really lax on the photographer job.

    I ought to feature Ann's traditional birthday card (as well as Ken's electronic one), it is so nice. From the Wind and Sea Studio (handmade by Heidi Fruehan). I can't find a website for it. [Thank you, Ann!]

  4. Susie, Now I regret even more not having taken pictures of the two strawberry-rhubarb pies!

    Note, though, that I have now added a photo of the sour cherry pie filling that was used for the birthday pie. And my wife bought a jar of blueberry filling also. It awaits....
