Even though I enjoy eating out and going out on foodie adventures, I am also a fan of cooking at home.
With ripe cherries for the summer, a home-made cherry pie was made for the fourth of July. Two of my friends came into town and are rather accomplished amateur chefs, having won a few food competitions in NYC. This recipe was slightly simpler but still fun. It was stolen from Martha Stewart and came out quite nicely.
We tried pitting the cherries with a paper clip as allegedly it keeps more of the cherry juices. I think it was slightly better but I don't think I'll ever mandate that only paperclips be used to pit cherries.
For fun, my friend also made a berry tart from scratch with some berries we bought and I got to play with my knife skills to carve out an egg like watermelon after I failed in my initial attempt to make a watermelon basket with a handle.
