Day 15: NaNoPIEMo 30 Pies in 30 Days Half Way!

Here we are, half way through this challenge. I am reassured with all the generous donations that we will double last year’s total. Thank you all of that.

And, for that, I offer you today’s pie a SAVORY. CHICKEN SAUSAGE AND APPLE in a CHEDDAR CHEESE CRUST. It’s one of my very favorites. It’s a nice cool day, and while sunny, it’s chilly when there’s no sun in this desert we call San Diego. This pie makes me think I’m in an old cabin with a wood stove in some place like Estonia. It’s made with sweet and tart apples, apple cider vinegar, and sausage. I use chicken sausage in my version. The tangy combo of vinegar and spicy sausage and the apples makes it an otherworldly experience. The sharp cheddar cheese ties it all together. Oh, my mouth is watering. I may keep this one for myself.

Let’s start the bidding at $95.

Here are some pictures from yesterday of the Ocean Discovery Institute’s kids writing their stories about their day in the canyon. They found earwigs and ants, and other creepy crawly things when they turned over rocks. That’s the most awesome eerwig I’ve ever seen.
