I’m exhausted. I write these blog posts the night before and have them scheduled to show up first thing in the morning. So I’m writing this one with my eyes partially closed. I may not even know what kind of pie I’m telling you is the pie for tomorrow. I think it’s called an ORANGE SPICE CARROT PIE in a CREAM CHEESE PASTRY. It will go brilliantly with all the coffee we are drinking to adjust with the Daylight/Standard time change jet lag.
This pie helps in two ways. The kids Ocean Discovery get free meals, and they often don’t eat all their fruits and veggies as kids are wont to do. I usually take the pounds of apples or pears or peaches and make pie for the kids. A cobbler with sugar and ice cream is SO much better than a fresh fruit when you are 9 years old. They also leave pounds of untouched little ziploc baggies of carrots. I love carrot cake but I don’t make much cake. I finally found a recipe for a carrot cake type of pie. All the same spices, and mixture, but not cakey but very moist. It will be in a cream cheese pastry, and I’m hoping to make some cream cheese whipped topping. Yum. And, the carrots won’t go to waste.
I’m rather excited about this pie, especially after the success with yesterday’s Chai Pie full of fresh ground spices. This pie will also be filled with fresh ground spices and fresh carrots. And DREAM, I mean, CREAM CHEESE!
Bids start at $85. Place your bids in the comments. Highest bidder when I pull the pie out of the oven wins. Watch for updates on social media. But the winner will be posted here when bids are closed.
This is me yesterday…I’ll survive!
