from the grey market of Thailand....

To U.S. for my Japanese car...

Today I received a new toy to match my red and black personal steering wheel in the Miata. I bought it from a gentleman in Thailand strangely enough, and while its probably not a licensed Mazda product, the retro emblem, glitter and the fact that it was $15 instead of $60 like the personal ones, made up my mind.

So, without further adieu...

DIY Pies

First blog post will be an email I sent to some folks yesterday...More to follow


So...as you all may or may not know, i love me some baked goods, especially crappy ones that are uber processed. I am also from eastern PA, nothing is more eastern PA or processed than tasty kakes.

I was jonesing some tasty kake pies in the worst way (i don't even think y'all have them in CT)
so I did the next best thing, actually better, and made some.

All with hormone free milk/organic sugar/natural shortening blah blah..scratch homey!

Here is the break down:
The first more browned ones are apple pie

The tiny white one (ran out of egg glaze) is chocolate pudding (Scratch made)

two of the chocolate glazed on tops are caramalized banana filling inside
the other two are vanilla custard.

Let me just say they are probably the best things ive ever made/eaten.

So, since NC is lax on food preparation laws I've filed for a permit to sell these at the local co-op farmers market as they are produced locally and organic i can sell them:) Not really a money making scheme but something fun to do and an excuse to hang out with the smelly crunchy people and listen to some music on saturday mornings.
