And here it is – fresh out of the oven!

My new 2020 “solo-holiday” tradition continues! Make a pie. Eat a pie! Should be cooled down just in time for my family ZOOM Christmas get-together. Too bad I can’t share… and I’ll just “rudely” be eating in front of them!!!

Oh well, more for me… HA!!!

Added the top layer of crust and a few decorative touches! Making it all very festive for my new “solo-holiday” tradition! Ready to go into the oven…

It’s all in… my Christmas pie is all coming together nicely!!!

Playing with pie crust… and upping my game this time.
I’m trying a new recipe for homemade pie crust!!!
A little more work, but hoping it’s all worthwhile!

I had to “borrow” two rolling pins from my studio yesterday… one smooth to roll it out, and a groovy textured one from Stodola Rolling Pins to make it a bit more fun!!!

Things are cooking in the kitchen…
starting to smell really festive in here!

Keeping up with my new “2020” tradition. It worked for my “solo” Thanksgiving, so I’m going for it again today!

I have two simple goals on my To-Do List for today…
1) Make a pie…. 2) Eat a pie.

Let the solo-holiday games begin!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE.
As I spend another socially-distant holiday by myself today, it is nice to reminisce and be thankful for the FAMILY you have surrounding you… whether in person or not. It’s been such a trying time for so many families this year… and I am SO THANKFUL for the “family” I have surrounding & supporting me.

Happy Holidays to all of you… my “online family”!
I hope you all stay safe, healthy & happy through this socially-distant holiday season… and that 2021 becomes much better that 2020!!!

With a weird 2020 socially-distant Christmas upon us…
I know we all have the same sentiments.

What I want for Christmas is a little bit of “normal” back…
but all I REALLY want is to spend time with YOU!!!… in person, without a mask!!! Looking forward to 2021…

Bah Humbug!… as I go to bed on this Christmas Eve.
Looking forward to a socially-distant & safe Christmas
as I ZOOM with my family to celebrate tomorrow.

Don’t be a SCROOGE… make the best of it. It’s still CHRISTMAS!!!
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings…
when friends come to call (even on ZOOM)…
It’s the hap-happiest season of all !!!

Getting a little headstart…
mixing it together to get a jump on tomorrow’s pie making project!

It’s my first time making handmade pie crust from a new recipe!
It’s looking good so far… I’m pretty excited.
Going to refrigerate overnight before I start rolling it out.
