This is attempt part 2 - my computer has died and I have had to resort to the old laptop who is as temperamental as an aging diva.....

Himself has always been a pie-eater.

Rhubarb pie - tooth curlingly acidic, with custard or cream or ice cream, preferably with all three.
Gooseberry pie - tart and razor-sharp.
Blackcurrant and apple - deep blood red staining juice and slightly firm chunks of fruit
Cornish pasties - crumbling flaky pastry, potatoes, carrots and beef all wrapped up in a thick gravy
Steak and Ale pie - deep rich and slow baked

So, as I said before - he is a pie-eater.

When I came home from work - after what felt like a very long day,
a double order of work with plenty of grafting on the side,
I walked into the kitchen which was perfumed with a lovely warm scent of pie cooking.
He opened the oven door and a heavenly fruity steam billowed out, 
making the room a very tasty sauna.

He had been baking!
He was very proud of his first attempt at a pie, and rightly so,
and I of him.

He is not the only male in my home that has been creative,

eldest is away on a sleep over,

so youngest has been busy keeping himself busy, very busy

.....busy making these......

I'd better stop now, the lap top is complaining.
