Anyone who knows me knows I am in LOVE with pushing daisies.

And I heart Kristin Chenoweth as Olive Snook (best name ever) it's got me totally hooked on this 'they might be giants' cover of 'Birdhouse in your soul' it's so cheery!
*shakes fist at ABC for not having a third series*
Anyhoo, all the pie making and eating made me want pie, so pies I did make.
I just stewed some apples and blackberries I'd picked on a bike ride (free food!) for the filling
and used this basic Bero pastry recipe:
| 225 g (8 oz) | Be-Ro Plain Flour |
| pinch | salt |
| 50 g (2 oz) | lard |
| 50 g (2 oz) | margarine |
| cold water to mix, about 30 ml (approx. 2 tbsp.) | |
| 25 g (1 oz) | caster sugar if sweet pastry is required. |
I really don't like pastry but that looks so yummy! . . . p.s. following you on twitter (saves the stalking!) I'm @Vratnej.

ReplyDeletei've never even heard of this pushing up daisies but if the cast and costuming are anything to go but it looks like it wold be awesome, i'll have to look into it.
